    This was in the construction zone south of the scale. Seems to be a weekly occurrence. Interstate has been closed over 12 hours now because of this.
    Deadly crash involving 3 semis reported on I-65 in NW Indiana

    Preliminary investigations suggest that traffic was slowed due to construction when a red bobtail tractor was stopped in the right lane. A blue semi-truck approached from behind at a high speed and swerved into the median to avoid a collision, striking a cable barrier in the process. Shortly afterward, another semi-truck traveling quickly collided with the rear of the red bobtail tractor.

    This #### is why im always terrified of being the "first" stopped truck in a slowdown. Ive had so many near misses where the moron behind me had to dodge to the emergency lane and/or smoked their brakes this year its been insane. And that area in specific is is so bad that anymore i just take 41 or 231 and screw the extra miles. I aint going to be killed by some flip flop wearing ####### watching cat videos.

    Every time this happens the big safety groups want to mandate front bumper radar on all trucks.
