Whiteout triggers 30-car pile up on I-69

MARKLE, Ind. (AP) - About 30 cars and trucks were involved in a pileup during whiteout conditions on Interstate 69, Indiana State Police said.

Minor injuries were reported in Thursday's crash, which occurred about 20 miles southwest of Fort Wayne.

Lake-effect snow that blanketed northern Indiana contributed to the crash, which occurred about 1 p.m., police said.

"Roads were super-slick at the time," said Trooper Robert Brophy.

The highway was closed between mile markers 78 and 86 near Markle.

Police estimated that the highway would reopen after 5:30 p.m.
