INDIANAPOLIS — A man was killed Saturday evening when five vehicles collided on Indianapolis' east side.
It happened around 8 p.m. in a road construction zone on Interstate 465, just north of 56th Street.
When first responders arrived, they found the driver of one of the cars unconscious and unresponsive. Police said that person, identified by the Marion County Coroner's Office as 39-year-old Jordan Trey Taylor, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and passenger in another car were taken to a hospital with what police said were non-life-threatening injuries.
A state police spokesperson said their preliminary investigation by crash reconstructionists determined the driver of a northbound car "attempted to move from the right lanes into the separated lane at the last second and struck the crash attenuator. After impacting the attenuator, the vehicle bounced back into the right three lanes, collecting four other vehicles in the wreckage."
The driver of the vehicle that struck the attenuator was pronounced dead, the spokesperson said.
The right three northbound lanes were closed for hours after the accident.
The investigation is ongoing.
