HAMILTON COUNTY, Ind. — Two Sheridan residents are dead after two vehicles collided Tuesday evening in Hamilton County.
A sheriff's department spokesperson said the crash happened just southeast of Sheridan on State Road 38, near Six Points Road, around 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 22.
When first responders arrived, they found a Chevrolet Trailblazer in a ditch and an inverted GMC Sierra off the opposite side of the road.
A preliminary investigation indicates the Sierra was traveling west on State Road 38 when it crossed the center line. It then struck the eastbound Trailblazer head-on in the eastbound lane.
Police said one of the drivers, 31-year-old Jack Meachum, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other truck, 26-year-old Brennan Smith, died a short time later at an Indianapolis hospital.
The Carmel High School Athletic Department said Meachum was the coach of the boys' lacrosse team.
NOTE: While authorities referred to one of the drivers as Jon Meachem, Carmel Clay Schools identified him as Jack Meachum.
