The Post-tribune.com has reported that Monday afternoon two trucking accidents occurred on Interstate 65 near the Roselawn, Indiana interstate exit. Both accidents combined to injure 4 people total, which included leaving a 38-year-old mother and her 4-year-old son critically injured, and also caused traffic to be backed up on Interstate 65 for hours.

Initially, a semitrailer rear-ended the motor vehicle carrying a mother and her son, who were slow moving due to construction work on the interstate. The semitrailer pushed the family's car into a guard rail, ultimately pinning it between the rail and the semi, while hitting two other motor vehicles in the process.

Indiana State Police blocked off the roadway as rescue and emergency teams dealt with the first accident scene. As traffic built up, a second semitrailer jacknifed at a location further south of the initial Interstate 65 accident scene, which resulted in a second closure. Indiana State Police closed Interstate 65 for more than 4 hours dealing with the two accidents.
