Two killed in truck collision on I-70

RICHMOND, Ind. -- A pair of tractor-trailers collided Wednesday on Interstate 70, killing two people, police said.\nThe two trucks appeared to collide head-on. Television images from the crash site showed a Mayflower Van Lines truck with its front end destroyed up against another truck that was heavily damaged by flames. Tire tracks could be seen nearby in the grassy median.\nOne of the trucks somehow crossed the median into the eastbound lanes and struck the other, a dispatcher at the Indiana State Police post in Connersville said.\nThe highway was closed in both directions because of the crash, which occurred shortly after noon near Richmond, about 60 miles east of Indianapolis.\nWestbound lanes were reopened in about three hours, but the eastbound lanes remained closed Wednesday afternoon.\nThe crash occurred about 10 miles west of the Indiana-Ohio state line.
