Summary

An overturned semi-truck at the intersection of Interstate Highway 465 South and Sam Jones Expressway in Indianapolis temporarily disrupted traffic. Police have reopened the road, but offloading the trailer is taking longer than anticipated, requiring additional officers to manage traffic.

Timeline

Jul 29, 5:21PM

Police are assessing if more units are needed to assist with the traffic situation.

IMPD Southwest Dispatch · 0:14

Do you still need 443 down there? If the sickle car needs another unit down there, then yes. If he can handle it, then no. Yeah, if you're on the southbound 465, we're in service. 353.

Jul 29, 5:21PM

Efforts to block the ramp are ongoing, but additional assistance is currently unavailable.

IMPD Southwest Dispatch · 0:15

Go ahead. If it hasn't already been asked, can you check with state and see if Hoosier helpers can come out and help me block the ramp so we can relieve both the district cars here? They do not have one on the west side. They don't have anybody else available. Okay.

Jul 29, 5:21PM

Additional traffic cones are being brought to manage the scene more effectively.

IMPD Southwest Dispatch · 0:31

Control, go ahead. 201, 40. Go for 201. You're on scene at this standby, right? Yes, sir, I am. I've got another civil unit coming. He's got 20 cones in his car, too. I'm taking him down on that off-ramp 465. Well, that would be fantastic. Thank you, sir. He might be a man, though. He's coming from the Shelby-Hanna area. I'm clear. Control, will you put us on Posture 1 until we can get a couple of cars in service? I'm clear. 35.

Jul 29, 5:21PM

The large tow truck is on scene, but its ability to flip the semi-truck is uncertain.

IMPD Downtown Dispatch · 0:11

I'm switching back southwest, Matt. Okay, the notes say they canceled the wrecker and restarted the motor carrier. Yeah, I can see a large wrecker up there. I don't know if he's going to be able to flip it over or not.

Jul 29, 4:51PM

A large tow truck has arrived to assist with the overturned semi-truck. Traffic management is ongoing.

IMPD Downtown Dispatch · 0:24

19. Go ahead. If you're not too far away, you might come and help them with the off-ramp, southbound 465 on to Sam Jones. That's like two or three lanes wide, and district cars are over there. I don't think they have any cones, so they're probably dodging cars. Okay, still be a little bit. I'm Shelby and Hannah. Big wrecker just showed up, and I'm sure he's probably still going to be here for a little bit.

Jul 29, 4:51PM

A Citizen user video shows vehicles stuck in traffic and officers with the flipped-over semi-truck.

Jul 29, 4:41PM

Police report that offloading the trailer will take longer than expected, and additional officers are needed to assist with traffic.

IMPD Southwest Dispatch · 0:20

201. Go ahead. Alright, they're going to be longer than we expected. They're likely going to have to offload this trailer. I know he disregarded everybody, but we're probably going to need more cars to assist with traffic. Do we have any sickle units that are available? I know we have one en route. Can he come back this way? Maybe two more? I'll check and see.

Jul 29, 4:35PM

Police report that traffic is being reopened as the situation with the overturned semi-truck is under control.

IMPD Southwest Dispatch · 0:08

The Decatur unit that's on this semi-exit, you're free to go ahead and open up traffic there. Lane 5, I'm clear.

IMPD Southwest Dispatch · 0:05

Any other units coming to the tipped over semi, you can go ahead, we've got it handled.

Jul 29, 4:16PM

IMPD Southwest Dispatch · 0:12

1 out. Just, just east of South High School Road on Sam Jones. Control, he's at Sam Jones at I-465. Can you mark the tenant and back me on to it?

IMPD Downtown Dispatch · 0:09

Are there any sickles that can assist Southwest? They have a semi that's overturned at Sam Jones Expressway and 465. Sickle 40. Clear.
