Snippets: A semi hauling explosives crashes near a rest stop, forcing police to limit, then close traffic on the interstate.
The driver failed to negotiate the curve, driving into some trees in the median between the exit and entrance ramps.
Vigo County Emergency Management Agency was on the scene and told us the rig was hauling a lot of explosives.
"All total, it was around 30 to 35,000 pounds of explosives," said J.D. Kesler of Vigo County EMA.
That said, Kesler says you'll find semis hauling explosive materials commonly on the nation's interstates.
If I was hauling explosives; I don’t believe I would drive recklessly.
I’m glad no one was hurt.
