The Borman Expressway (I-80/94) in Northwest Indiana was jammed early Wednesday morning on account of two crashes involving semi-trailer trucks, one of which left at least one person dead.

Indiana State Police said two vehicles were involved in a crash early Wednesday on the westbound Borman near Richard Gordon Hatcher Boulevard (formerly Grant Street) in Gary, and at least one person was killed. A semi-trailer truck overturned in the crash.

As of the 5 a.m. hour, the Borman was jammed solid near the scene. The three left lanes of the expressway were all blocked.

The Indiana Toll Road and Chicago Skyway (I-90) were advised as an alternative. Ridge Road to the south was also an option, though not for trucks.

On I-80/94 at Cline Avenue, a couple of jackknifed semis were involved in a multi-vehicle crash, and the right lane was blocked. More lanes may be blocked to pull apart the wreckage.

Information on injuries and what exactly happened to cause the wrecks was not immediately available.
