HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind.–A semi fire and crash caused lane closures on I-70 near Greenfield Thursday morning.

The Hancock County dispatch said as of 7:15 a.m., the closure was caused by a semi-truck fire at mile marker 112, coupled with a secondary crash at mile marker 109.

Drivers that were stuck in traffic fell asleep and police had to wake them up.

The interstate finally reopened around 10:20 a.m., according to an alert from INDOT

“All accidents, disabled vehicles, and sleepy drivers are taken care of – the road is back open,” Hancock County 911 wrote on social media. “Have a great holiday weekend – safe travels.”
