Indianapolis traffic: 1 dead, 3 injured in east-side crash, IFD says

View Comments A 20-year-old man died and three others were injured Friday afternoon in a crash on Indianapolis east side. According to the Indianapolis Fire Department, the man was driving a Dodge Avenger north on South State Avenue at a high rate of speed before it collided with a Ford Escape driving west on Southeastern Avenue. The fire department said the vehicles landed about 50 feet north of the intersection, striking and breaking a utility pole. The Dodge overturned, and its driver was pronounced dead at the scene. When firefighters arrived at 5:18 p.m., they found a passenger who had been ejected from the Ford trapped under a rear wheel of the Dodge. Firefighters extricated that passenger, a 31-year-old man, and medics took him to a hospital in critical condition.

Public safety: Do not fire a gun into the air on the Fourth of July

A bullet fired into the air can come back to the ground at speeds of up to 200 to 300 feet per second, according to Forensic Outreach, a United Kingdom-based education and consulting company. Though this is a slower velocity than the one at which the bullet was fired, it is still fast enough to pierce the skin and cause serious injury or even death. These cold, hard gravitational facts can and have had tragic and deadly consequences. In 2017, 13-year-old Noah Inman was playing basketball outside at a family Fourth of July party when he was struck in the head by a falling bullet, the Chicago Tribune reported. 

Police s massive show of force underway downtown on South Meridian Street

The effort started Thursday night. It’s not just IMPD and Indiana State Police; a variety of other city and state agencies are doing their part. For example, the fire marshal is looking at overcrowding issues. Also participating: the Indiana Excise Police, and the nuisance abatement unit of Marion County’s Department of Business and Neighborhood Services. Nearby businesses applaud the effort. Jeff Huron of The District Tap said Friday afternoon, “I think it’s a good call. Safety is No. 1 priority for us and our restaurant. Hopefully for everyone else as well, we appreciate the police being down there and we support them. It’s good to see them down here making everyone feel safer.”
