INDIANAPOLIS — A motorcyclist suffered serious injuries in a crash Thursday night on Interstate 465 on the east side of Indianapolis.
Indiana State Police troopers were called around to a crash around 9 p.m. on I-465 northbound near the Interstate 70 ramp, ISP Sgt. John Perrine said. A secondary crash involving a semi-truck occurred in the traffic back up due to the first crash.

The driver of a car involved in the secondary crash was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Perrine said.
The area will be closed while a crash resconstruction team is investigating, Perrine said.
