I was driving from Bloomington to Indy today when I came across a massive traffic backup (maybe a quarter to a half-mile deep) with enough flashing, blinking lights up front to look like a Christmas tree. This would've been just a bit south of 144. I eventually got turned around and cut across to Old SR 37 via Waverly.
Anybody know what that was? News search isn't turning anything up.

One of my friends that was driving that route said there was a really bad accident and someone was lifelined out. I'm not sure how accurate that is, just relaying what I saw on Facebook.
Only a half-mile? That's called traffic, bub.
It's traffic when it's moving, and in nearly a decade of driving on 37 I've never seen anything like it. This was a half-mile parking lot on 37 with a massive shitstorm of police cars, ambulances, and a fire truck at the front.
The cops saw a guy planting what they thought was marijuana seeds in the median of the highway...so they called in the FBI, DEA, BATFE, DHS, DOE, 5-OH, and local Po Po to apprehend the desperado....turns out the seeds were for the red headed daisy. Good thing they only cuffed and kicked him a little bit. No gunplay was evident.
