Motorists traveling on I-70 through Putnam County found themselves in the midst of a long delay Thursday afternoon, following an accident near the 42 mile marker close to Cloverdale. 

According to Indiana State Police Sgt. Matt Ames, a semi tractor trailer was disabled on I-70 westbound near mile marker 42 with its emergency triangles deployed. 

Another semi tractor trailer failed to observe the disabled semi and side swiped it. 

"This caused debris from the trailers to go all over Interstate 70 from both semis," Ames told The Putnam County Post.  In addition, a passenger vehicle traveling westbound also received damage due to driving over debris. 

The state police were assisted by INDOT, the Cloverdale Police Department and Curtis Wrecker Service. There were no injuries from the accident
