INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — At least one person died Monday morning in a crash on Indy’s far east side near Interstate 70, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Online police reports show IMPD officers were called to southbound Post Road near the I-70 off ramp just before 9 a.m. for an accident with injuries involving a silver truck and a red car.
IMPD Public Information Officer Drew Brown told News 8 at the scene that when officers arrived, they located both drivers in their vehicles.
The woman driving of the red car died at the scene, while the man in the pickup truck was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
Brown says the pickup driver was in stable condition as of 10:15 a.m. and was assisting with the investigation.
Officers say they believe the woman was exiting off the I-70 ramp to turn left onto North Post Road when she was hit by the silver pickup truck.
The truck driver also submitted to a blood test, which is standard in Indiana when there is a fatal accident.
IMPD says the southbound lanes of Post Road from the I-70 off-ramp will be closed for several hours while investigators are on the scene.
Traffic on I-70 will not be impacted, according to INDOT.
