INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating after two people were killed and two more were injured in a crash Sunday evening on the east side of Indianapolis.
Police responded to a report of a two-car crash at East 10th Street and North Arlington Avenue around 7:30 p.m.
According to an arrest report, the crash involved a GMC Canyon, driven by Anthony Dwon Edwards, and a Nissan Versa, driven by Adan Valencia.
Two witnesses told police the Versa was going north on Arlington Avenue when it was hit on the driver's side by the Canyon, which caused the car to go up on the curb and into the window of a smoke shop. Both witnesses also said the Versa had the green light at the time of the crash.
According to the arrest report, Valencia and a passenger, Angelina Chavez, in his car were pronounced dead at the scene. A witness told police he got a kid out of the back seat of the Versa. Police said the child had minor injuries and was taken to Riley Hospital in good condition.
According to the arrest report, medics said they could smell alcohol on Edwards while they were taking him to a hospital for injuries he sustained in the crash.
Police obtained a warrant for a blood draw for Edwards, which resulted in his arrest for driving under the influence resulting in death.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will make the final charging decisions.
The spokesperson said the driver of the other car was taken to a hospital. His condition was not available but investigators are checking for possible impairment.
