Decatur County, IN — There are no reports of injuries after a semi-trailer blocked the eastbound lanes of I-74 in Decatur County early Tuesday morning.

The Decatur County Sheriff’s Office says Decatur County Communications received several calls about a semi blocking the eastbound lane of the interstate near the 137 mile-marker shortly before 2:30 am.
