INDIANAPOLIS — The Marion County Health Department was called to I-465 after a semi crash left chocolate-covered raisins and peanuts scattered across the road.
According to police, a semi trailer hauling the candy hit the structure holding the highway signs over I-465 South, just north of the Washington St. exit on Indy’s east side. This happened a little after 1 a.m.
Indiana State Police say the cab of the truck separated from the trailer in the crash, and the trailer was torn in half, causing the spillage.
Because the crash involved food, the Marion County Health Department responded. We’re told that’s standard in food-related crashes.
