INDIANAPOLIS — One person is dead and another was injured in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday on Indianapolis' north side.
An IMPD spokesperson told 13News dispatchers received a report of a crash in the 6200 block of North Shadeland Avenue, just north of Fall Creek Road, around 10:40 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found that one vehicle had hit a pole and a second vehicle was crashed on the opposite side of the road.
Witnesses told IMPD both cars were southbound on Shadeland and one began to pass the other "at a very high rate of speed" when a rear-end collision occurred.
The IMPD spokesperson said the driver of one of the cars, a woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. The Marion County Coroner's Office identified her as 36-year-old Bonnie Elam.
The other vehicle was occupied by three people. One of the passengers, a woman, was taken to a hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries. The driver and another passenger were uninjured.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen the crash to call Det. Eric Snow 317-327-6197.
