A semi truck crashed Wednesday morning on I-94/80 in Hammond, Indiana, causing major delays for commuters.

The rollover crash, which was announced about 6:15 a.m., is blocking three eastbound lanes near Calumet Avenue, Ann Wojas, the Indiana State Police public information officer for the Lowell District, said in a tweet.

The truck is leaking syrup and diesel fuel, Wojas said. Long delays and closures are expected, and Indiana State Police are encouraging drivers to seek alternate routes.
