INDIANAPOLIS — Two people were transported to an area hospital after their SUV went off the road and into a pond early Monday morning. 

Around 2:30 a.m., crews responded to calls for a drowning rescue at 34th Street and Shadeland Avenue. 

An SUV was found fully submerged about 50 feet from shore.

The man, 38, was able to get out on his own and divers rescued the female driver. Both were taken to the hospital, where Olinda Filomena Guevara, 26, was later pronounced dead. The man is reportedly in good condition.

It is unclear if the two people in the car were related or why the vehicle left the road. The crash remains under investigation by IMPD.
