Fatal Collision Involving Pedestrian and Semi Truck Shuts Down Northbound I-69 Near Fishers

Tragic events occurred on I-69 in Fishers earlier today when a deadly collision forced the northbound lanes to be completely closed. According to FOX59, Indiana State Police verified that a pedestrian and a semi truck had been involved in a fatal incident. Due to the unforeseen shutdown, traffic was severely delayed; the standoff started close to Fishers High School, at mile marker 208.

Police reconstruction work required patience; about 7:20 a.m., Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) cameras showed movement on I-69. However, there was still some residual slowness in the vehicle flow. Indiana State Police said on social media that “I-69 northbound at the 208.6 mile marker is now open,” although they cautioned of continued delays, according to FOX59.

Due to delays that lasted almost three hours, cars were rerouted onto exit 205 during the incident. According to WTHR, INDOT advised drivers to use detours while the cleanup and thorough investigation are underway. Although there were few facts available at the time of reporting regarding the events and the identities of those involved, the state police’s efforts to reconstruct the collision in detail probably provided crucial insight into the terrible event.

The full reopening of I-69 northbound as rush hour drew near provided some relief to drivers stuck in the heavy traffic jam. Until the bottleneck had cleared, alternate routes remained a feasible suggestion for getting around the traffic, according to WISH-TV. The state police exercised discretion in the case, not disclosing any more details about the collision or the individuals caught in its regrettable web.
