High Winds Causing Issues for Semi Traffic in the Fort Wayne Area
Fort Wayne, Indiana (March 13, 2026) – The Indiana State Police Fort Wayne Post is currently responding to multiple crash scenes throughout the district caused by extremely high winds moving through the area. Several semi tractor‑trailers have been blown over at various locations, resulting in slowed or restricted traffic in those affected zones. At this time there are traffic slow downs at I69 south of Fort Wayne in Huntington County near the 289MM just north of Markle. On US30 in Allen County near the Ohio state line. And, on US33 in Noble County south of US6.
Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling during these high‑wind conditions. Strong gusts can make vehicle control difficult, especially for high‑profile vehicles, and may lead to sudden hazards on the roadway.
Drivers should:
- Reduce speed in windy areas
- Keep a safe distance from large trucks and high‑profile vehicles
- Remain alert for debris or sudden traffic slowdowns
- Avoid unnecessary travel if possible until conditions improve
Indiana State Police Troopers, along with local emergency responders, are working to clear scenes and restore normal traffic flow as quickly and safely as possible.
Further updates will be provided as conditions change.
