IMPD: No foul play is suspected as of this time, and the driver is cooperating with officers. I did see the person that appears to be the driver detained by an officer here at the scene, but no word yet if that person is under arrest or facing possible charges as of this time.

WHITESTOWN PD: Both trailers were sliced open in the crash with one hauling recycling products, the other furniture. There's enough damage to the semis and debris on the road that it'll take 2-3 hours for the scene to clear. Only 1 SB lane on the far left is getting by.

I saw a woman being treated by paramedics & then transported to the hospital. She appeared to be awake and talking when they put her in the ambulance. 2 small children that looked to be younger than 5 years old were also with her (it did not look like they were being treated)
