Repeated Work Zone Crashes Concern County

There's trouble in Boone County, Indiana.

Construction zone crashes continue to plague parts of I-65 in the county, according to WTHR, causing lengthy backups for drivers. The latest crash involved a semi, which had its rear axle detached in the incident, with construction zone barriers destroyed and pushed out of place.

In the past few weeks, the station says, there have been a handful of crashes within a 14-mile stretch of I-65. 

The Boone County Sherriff’s Office said some crashes are freak accidents while others are caused by distracted drivers. 

“We deal with crashes a lot but to see them in a frequent spot is a little concerning, but we have definitely been taking measures with the fire department in Lebanon, INDOT, and the construction crews to try and make necessary changes where we can,” said deputy Wesley Garst of the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.
