Two people are in the hospital after a semi-involved crash, Tuesday afternoon, on the Indiana Toll Road.

Police were called to the scene in a construction zone near Elkhart just before 4:30 p.m. involving multiple vehicles.

The crash happened when a commercial truck failed to slow for stopped traffic, smashing into the back of a truck and trailer. It then hit another commercial truck in front of that one.

The driver of the pickup truck was pinned in the wreckage and once freed, was airlifted with serious injuries.

The driver of the first truck was also transported with minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.

The crash left the eastbound portion of the Toll Road closed for more than three hours.
