Southbound lanes of Interstate 65 were closed for several hours Sunday night after a fatal traffic accident and diesel fuel spill near Lebanon, Indiana.

Police say 67-year-old Theodore Engelberth of Palantine, Illinois, died instantly about four-p.m. Sunday when a semitrailer struck his car on the south side of Lebanon.

Police say Engelberth was slowing with other traffic for a previous accident when his car was struck from behind by a semi and pushed into a bridge abutment.

The semi driven by Stephen Ellickson of Waunakee, Wisconsin, then struck a second semi and spilled the second truck's cargo onto one lane and the berm.

Neither truck driver was injured.

Debris from all three vehicles was scattered across the interstate at the accident scene just north of Indianapolis.
