(Ripley County, IN) – U.S. 50 a mile west of Holton was shut down in both directions for nearly three hours Thursday after an overturned semi lost its load of lime fertilizer.

All lanes near the Ripley/Jennings County line were blocked until crews were able to clean up the spill.

One lane reopened around 12:45 pm, and all lanes were back open at 1:40 pm.

There were no injuries reported.
