Indiana State Police say dozens of cars and trucks are involved in a crash that has closed the westbound lanes of Interstate 94 in northern Indiana.

Between 2 and 3 inches of snow fell overnight in the Michigan City area making driving slick along the highway near the U.S. 421 exit in Michigan City. State police Sgt. Ann Wojas said no serious injuries were being reported in the crash that involved 10 cars and 12 semi-trucks.

Police say the westbound lanes are closed between Michigan City and LaPorte and they have no timetable to reopen.

I think this is an important story and would benefit from other NowPublic contributors working on it. I've flagged it as News Wanted and invite others in relevant locations to look for more evidence.

Update: No serious injuries reported, but one moment of heroism:

Indiana State Police say a truck driver rescued a Gary man from his submerged car after a crash left it upside down in a water-filled ditch.

Trucker Leonard T. Roach of Villa Park, Ill., pried open one of the back doors of 49-year-old Ernesto Soto's car Tuesday morning and pulled him to safety.
