TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A six car pile up on Intestate 70 injures several people and puts a halt to traffic.

The Vigo County Sheriff's Department says six vehicles were involved in the accident.
They say it happened when a semitrailer somehow crashed into other vehicles in slow traffic.

Traffic was rerouted through Terre Haute for a while as the westbound lanes of I-70 were closed.
