What happened
An overturned semi closed all southbound lanes of Interstate 65 near Scottsburg on the afternoon of Friday, October 9, 2026, according to WDRB's report[1]. The investigation is ongoing.
WDRB reported that the rollover happened at the 24-mile marker and that traffic was diverted onto US 31. Indiana State Police units from the Sellersburg post responded. Indiana State Police Sgt. Casey Huls said crews were working the rollover crash, WDRB reported.
Minor injuries were reported. The driver, trucking company, and cause of the crash were not reported, so the cause remains undetermined.
What you should do after a commercial truck crash
If you are hurt in a crash involving a commercial truck, get medical care first, even if your injuries seem minor at the scene. You can also request the crash report from the Indiana State Police and keep your photos, medical records, and bills together. The firm's guide to evidence after an Indiana crash explains why careful records matter.
If you saw the truck's company name or DOT number, write it down. Evidence such as vehicle data and commercial-carrier logs can be lost or overwritten quickly, so timely preservation requests matter. You can learn more about why truck accident claims differ from car accident claims.
Trucking companies and their insurers often respond quickly after a crash. Before giving a recorded statement, it can help to understand what is being requested and how the statement may be used. This guide addresses an insurance adjuster's request for a recorded statement.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This crash happened on I-65 near Scottsburg in Scott County, and Indiana State Police responded. A civil case would ordinarily be filed in Scott County or where a defendant is located, and a trucking case can involve an out-of-state company.
Most Indiana injury claims must be filed within two years under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4[2]. Indiana's modified comparative fault rule, Indiana Code 34-51-2-6[3], reduces a recovery by the injured person's share of fault and bars recovery when that person's fault is greater than 50 percent. These are general rules, and the facts determine how they apply.
