    As of noon central time(where I am located) there are 2 major multi vehicle wrecks in Indiana. I-70 around Richmond, and I 74 nearing the OH line according to the weather commercial channel. The one on 74 looks like a bunch of commercial vehicles...but I didn't see any Fudex in the camera footage a viewer sent in.(google maps indicates east bound)

    My company just sent a msg over the Qualcomm that said I-74 is closed at the Indiana- Ohio state line due to a multi-vehicle weather related accident.

    FedEX hit the ditch to avoid the carnage. Only two usual suspects are CRST and Celedon. The rest were much smaller outfits.

    On the the plus side the TastyKakes survived.

    Indiana may have the worst roads and winter road crews I have ever seen..
    If it snows to hard or its past 5pm they just pull all the trucks n go home..come out in the morning n see where the wrecks are..

    Yeah, Indiana's terrible at clearing roads. This is the worst I've ever seen them though, which is odd because there really wasn't that much snow. Freezing rain Saturday night and some snow, then a little more snow last night. Less than 3 inches in my area, and everyone has lost their minds.

    Wow. Crazy. I don't want to die behind a trailer door. I'd go for the ditch too.

    Yeah, I saw some later coverage, he was just so far down off the road that you couldn't see him from the 1st images. They actually had 2 seperate accident scenes.

    The I70 one was west bound, and both had a CRST, but the I70 CRST looks like the cab was ripped right off the frame. I wonder if it was Joseph (pronounced yoseph) from the in-cab youtube video of last years WY crash-o-rama
