At least two people were seriously injured, one in each car, when a wrong-way vehicle struck another car head-on on northbound Interstate 65 near Hobart, Indiana, early Monday, October 26, according to Indiana State Police accounts carried by ABC7 Chicago and other local outlets, summarised by HeyDay News on October 27.

The Chicago Focal, reporting the same Indiana State Police account on October 26, placed the crash around 2 a.m. in Lake County, south of Ridge Road and north of 61st Avenue near Hobart. It said northbound I-65 reopened by 4:30 a.m., after a closure of about two and a half hours.

Police had not released the injured people's names or later conditions, and had not said what led to the wrong-way driving, according to the Focal report. HeyDay said the two injured people were taken to separate hospitals and that later local reports described their injuries as life-threatening; no later medical outcome has been established in the available reporting.

I-65 is a major north-south trucking corridor through Indiana. Drivers in northwest Indiana should check current conditions before travelling, as investigations and closures can change lane patterns without notice.
