Highway shut down after waste truck carrying dead bird flu ducks crashes in northern Indiana

March 20, 2026​
The dead ducks were picked up from several Maple Leaf Farms in Northern Michigan, all diseased with H5N1 avian flu


Emergency management responded to a hazmat situation on Friday morning after a waste management truck carrying ducks that had died from bird flu crashed into a ditch at the side of a highway, according to officials.

The truck rolled into a ditch along U.S. Route 33 in Churubusco in Northern Indiana just after 8 a.m., forcing the highway to close in both directions, the Whitley County Emergency Management Agency said in a news alert.

The scene was secured with a 100-foot perimeter as a precaution and there’s no known threat to public health at this time, the agency said.
​
"Waste management, Maple Leaf Farms, and Indiana Board of Animal Health are working together to have a specialized team to come do the cleanup," the agency said.

Largest Animal Health Emergency in US History Continues as HPAI Hits Indiana Hard



ince the beginning of March, highly pathogenic avian influenza has claimed over 350,000 birds in Indiana.

“We’re asking all of our producer partners, whether it’s layers or broilers or turkey or dairy or any other adjacent production system, please be vigilant,” says Dudley Hoskins, Under Secretary of Agriculture for Marketing and Regulatory Programs. “We need sound biosecurity practices. It’s not just what’s happening on that one facility, there’s risk of lateral transmissions.”

Hoskins says the spring migratory season brings with it the renewed threat of HPAI, or bird flu.

The H5N1 strain of avian influenza is present in wild birds worldwide and is causing outbreaks in U.S. domestic birds and dairy cattle, though Indiana has not had a confirmed case of HPAI in dairy cattle as of yet. Hoskins asks farmers to lean on USDA’s APHIS experts for guidance and help in preventing spread.

Denise Derrer-Spears with the Indiana State Board of Animal Health says, “The impact of this virus on each, individually affected farm can be devastating; however, poultry production in Indiana remains strong,”​

Over 10 million Indiana birds have been depopulated since February 2022 due to bird flu. Going back to 2022, this is now the largest animal health emergency in the history of the United States.
