(Batesville, IN) – All lanes of eastbound Interstate 74 at the 148 mile-marker had to be closed this morning due to a multi-vehicle crash.

It happened around 10 a.m. between South County Line Road and the Batesville/Oldenburg State Road 229 exit.

Traffic is being diverted to State Road 46, which was reported to be at a standstill because of all of the vehicles using it to bypass the interstate.

Indiana State Police are reporting a number of weather-related slide-offs on the interstate, particularly in Ripley and Franklin counties.

They’re urging drivers to use caution and avoid the area, if possible.
