FedEx truck crashes into median on Indiana Toll Road

A FedEx truck jumped the median and crashed on the eastbound lanes of the Indiana Toll Road on Thursday morning.

Traffic on the Indiana Toll Road was heavily disrupted Thursday morning after a FedEx truck crossed the median and collided with a pickup.

The crash happened on the tollway’s eastbound lanes near Calumet Avenue, prompting officials to advise drivers heading toward Indiana to avoid the Skyway. Westbound lanes were also blocked for a time as crews responded. They have since reopened.

Drivers traveling to Indiana or northwest Indiana were urged to use Interstate 80/94 as an alternate route while the scene was cleared. 

No immediate information was released about injuries.
