INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indiana State Police has confirmed that a semi-truck overturned at I-70 eastbound at northbound I-465 on the west side.
The accident occurred at mile marker 73.0.
The driver got out of the truck on his own. He is alert and was taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital to be checked out.
