New Haven, IN (September 10, 2026) – Three semitrailers collided Thursday afternoon on U.S. 30 near New Haven, shutting down all westbound lanes and leaving multiple people seriously injured, according to the New Haven Police Department.
The crash happened around 1:30 p.m. on September 10, 2026, at the intersection of U.S. 30 and Doyle Road.
Indiana Department of Transportation traffic cameras showed heavy smoke coming from one of the semitrucks. Police confirmed one of the semis’ cabs caught fire as a result of the crash.
Multiple people were seriously injured, though the exact number involved was not immediately clear. It is also unclear what caused the crash.
All westbound lanes of U.S. 30 were closed following the collision, and it was not known how long the closure would last.
This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.
Semi-Truck Accidents in Allen County, Indiana
Commercial truck crashes move fast once the wreckage is cleared, so acting quickly matters for preserving what caused it.
- See a doctor the same day, even if injuries seem minor at first, since adrenaline can mask serious trauma
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to any trucking company’s insurer before speaking with an attorney
- Preserve evidence early, including the truck’s black box data, driver logs, and dashcam or INDOT camera footage before it is overwritten
- Do not accept a settlement offer before an attorney has reviewed the full extent of the injuries
Multiple parties can share liability in a commercial crash like this one, including each truck’s driver, the trucking company, and any maintenance contractor, depending on what the investigation finds. Until fault is determined, Indiana’s modified comparative fault rule (IC 34-51-2-6) governs how any recovery would be calculated.
Indiana law generally requires a personal injury claim to be filed within two years of the crash (IC 34-11-2-4). For this crash, that deadline is September 10, 2028.
