INDIANAPOLIS — A man was killed after an early morning, two-car crash in Henry County on Friday morning.
On Jan. 26, around 6:17 a.m., police were called to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of US 36 and Mechanicsburg Road.
The driver of a brown Jeep Cherokee was traveling eastbound on US 36 when a red Chevrolet Trailblazer was northbound on Mechanicsburg Road.
For an unknown reason, police said the Trailblazer entered the intersection directly in the path of the Jeep Cherokee, causing the Jeep to hit the northbound Trailblazer in the drivers side door.
Robert Harris, the driver of the Trailblazer, was pronounced dead at the scene. The other driver was transported to Henry Community Health with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crash.
A Middletown firefighter also suffered an extreme cardiac event while working at the crash scene. He was transported by medics to St. Vincent Hospital in Anderson, and is currently in stable condition.
