IMPD: Monday night crash on east side kills 1, injures 2
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — One person was killed and two others were injured in a Monday night crash on the east side of Indianapolis, police said.
The Marion County Coroner’s Office by April 17, 2023, had not responded to an email request for the identification of the person killed.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called at around 6:30 p.m. to a two-vehicle crash in the 8300 block of Washington Street. That’s right outside a strip mall between Franklin Road and Post Road, just east of I-465.
Crash investigators believe a Ford sedan headed east on Washington Street hit a westbound Chevrolet SUV that was trying to turn south, IMPD said in a statement Tuesday.
The driver of the SUV, identified by police as an adult female, died at the scene. The sole passenger was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, according to IMPD.
The man driving the Ford and one passenger were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. IMPD says they were both in stable condition.
The driver of the Ford sedan was subjected to a blood draw after the crash, which is standard procedure for any fatal accident.
IMPD says speed may have been a factor in the crash.
The police investigation was ongoing. Any charging decision will be made by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.
