Northbound drivers on Interstate 65 hit a hard stop Friday evening in Boone County, where all lanes near the 137-mile marker were shut down after fire activity on the highway, officials said. The closure backed up traffic north of Lebanon as emergency crews moved in and urged motorists to steer clear while they worked to secure the scene.
