INDIANAPOLIS — One man was killed and two other people were injured in a crash along Interstate 465 on Indy's west side Thursday morning.
The crash happened around 5:15 a.m. when a small SUV was leaving the southbound side of I-465 at the Washington Street exit when the driver failed to navigate the curve in the ramp and drove straight through a grassy ditch, hitting the embankment for the on-ramp and became airborne.
The SUV landed on the other side of the on-ramp, overturned and stopped upside down after rolling down an embankment. Investigators believe at least two of the people in the SUV were ejected, including the man who was pronounced dead at the scene.
IMPD Sgt. Brad Bentley said police were originally called for a man on the interstate, later learning the man was one of the occupants of the SUV.
Police have not shared their identities.
Indiana State Police crash reconstructionists helped IMPD with the investigation.
The entrance ramp from Washington Street to I-465 was closed for approximately six hours Thursday morning for the investigation.
Toxicology results are pending.
