LATEST: The road was reopened at 4:21 p.m.

WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — The Westfield Fire Department responded to a crash that involved a dump truck driver hitting an overpass.

Drivers were advised to avoid 191st Street under the southbound U.S. 31 overpass after a crash involving a dump truck happened around noon Tuesday. U.S. 31 remained closed at 3 p.m.

According to Chief Rob Gaylor, the driver of the truck received minor injuries. The fire chief did not identify who was involved in the crash or what caused the crash. The investigation was ongoing.

Photos from the Westfield Fire Department had the name of the truck company covered on the vehicle.

Indiana Department of Transportation’s east district says it used drones to inspect the damage to the overpass that the dump trump was lodged beneath.

NOTE: The headline was corrected to show 191st Street is closed, not U.S. 31.
