INDIANAPOLIS — Two men were killed and another was critically injured in a two-car crash involving a suspected drunk driver Sunday evening on the south side of Indianapolis.
The crash happened just before 9:45 p.m. at the intersection of South Meridian Street and East Southport Road.
Preliminary information leads police to believe a gray Acura sedan was traveling southbound on Meridian Street at a high speed when the driver failed to stop at a red light, hitting a gray Hyundai sedan that was turning north onto Meridian Street from Southport Road.
The driver of the Acura and a passenger from the Hyundai were pronounced dead shortly after arriving at local hospitals, IMPD said Monday morning. The driver of the Hyundai was last listed in critical condition.
Investigators said late Sunday that the driver of the Acura was suspected to have been driving while intoxicated. Witnesses told police the driver was going at an extremely high rate of speed and had his flashers on.
Authorities have not released the names of those involved.
Investigators were continuing to speak with witnesses as of late Sunday.
