A semi-trailer truck explosion shut down I-65 near DeMotte, Indiana, on Monday, April 21, as a ball of flames and plumes of smoke were sent skyward. These videos, shared to X by Sergeant Glen Fifield, shows debris strewn across the roadway near exit 230 as the inferno rages, with only the skeleton of the truck remaining. Sergeant Fifield advised motorists all lanes at the exit would be closed for โan indeterminate amount of timeโ due to the fire. โOnce it is safe, traffic will be escorted around the scene, but that wonโt be for a while,โ he wrote. โDrivers in the backup, please be patient and DO NOT drive NB in SB lanes! This cleanup is expected to last into the night due to the surface of the roadway being significantly damaged.โ The driver of semi walked away from the incident unscathed, Sergeant Fifield added.
