UPDATE:  Ripley County, IN — U.S. 421 north of Napoleon has reopened in both directions after it was shut down Friday morning due to an overturned semi.

Investigators say the driver apparently drove too close to the edge of the road near the Ripley/Decatur County line and spilled water and lime, which forced the closure during the clean-up process.

There were no injuries reported.

Ripley County, IN — Both lanes of US 421 are closed at the Decatur/Ripley County line due to an overturned semi.

The accident happened between 6 and 6:30 am.
