COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Bartholomew County Sheriff Department is urging motorists to slow down due to slick road conditions this morning due to light snow and icing on roadways.

The northbound lanes of I-65 at mile marker 59 south of Columbus are closed at this time, deputies said. A five-vehicle accident, involving two semis and three cars, will block the interstate for some time and motorists are asked to avoid the area, deputies said.
