2 jack-knifed semis shut down I-75 near Lima

Posted: Updated:

Interstate 75 was closed in both directions near State Route 65 in Lima Tuesday night because of a pair of accidents.

Troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol post in Findlay say two tractor-trailers, one headed north, one headed south, jack-knifed on the slick road.

No one was hurt in either crash, but traffic was at a standstill in the whiteout conditions.

To the north, in Hancock County, a car slid off the southbound side of I-75 near mile marker 145. The vehicle slid into a cluster of trees, but the driver was not hurt.
