The driver stayed at the scene and no other vehicles were involved in the accident, Land said. No injuries are reported.Â

The roads were not closed, but police were on scene and advised drivers to avoid the area earlier Wednesday.Â
Because the damage was done on a state road, the Indiana State Highway Department will be in charge of repairs, Land said.Â
The Indiana State Highway Department was not immediately reachable for comment on repair plans Wednesday evening.Â
