A crash closed all eastbound lanes of the Lloyd Expressway at Stockwell Road in Evansville on Monday morning, November 2, 2026, according to WFIE 14 News[1]. At least one person was seriously hurt, the station reported.
The Evansville Police Department sent its crash reconstruction team to the scene. The report did not name anyone involved or state the number or type of vehicles. No cause has been reported, and the cause remains undetermined.
What accident victims should do next
After a serious crash, follow all medical care and keep records of every visit and bill. Ask for the crash report number. You can also review these steps to take after an Indiana traffic accident.
When police send a crash reconstruction team, the final report may take time. Keep your own notes, photos, and the names of any witnesses. Details about roadway conditions, vehicle damage, and other available records may become important. This guide explains what evidence can help support an Indiana car accident claim.
Notify your own insurance company promptly, but be careful about guessing when you do not know an answer. A crash report can usually be obtained after the investigation, but it is not a final determination of civil responsibility.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This crash happened on the Lloyd Expressway in Evansville, in Vanderburgh County, and the Evansville Police Department is investigating. A civil case is usually filed in the county where the crash happened or where a defendant lives.
Most Indiana injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Indiana divides fault among those involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. An injured person whose own fault is greater than 50 percent cannot recover; otherwise, recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault. The cause and fault in this crash have not been determined.
Indiana's minimum auto liability coverage is 25/50/25 under Ind. Code 9-25-4-5. Those limits may not cover every loss from a serious injury. Indiana insurers must offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage under Ind. Code 27-7-5-2, and the available protection depends on the policy.
