2 killed in I-65 crash; road closed

Two people were killed in an early Tuesday crash on Interstate 65 that forced the closure of a 10-mile stretch of the interstate near Lowell, Ind., Indiana State Police said.

A semi truck and sport utility vehicle crashed about 5:45 a.m. on Interstate 65 between the Lowell and Demotte exits, according to an Indiana State Police spokeswoman.

All northbound and southbound lanes are closed between the exits, and it is unclear when they will reopen, state police said.

Police are cautioning drivers to find other routes if their travel plans involve the affected stretch.

Indiana State Police are investigating.
