INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indianapolis police officer responding to a vehicle that had slid into a ditch ended up suffering the same fate early Thursday morning.
A Ford Explorer hit an icy patch of road in the 5100 block of Massachusetts Avenue at around 1:30 a.m. The Explorer slid into the ditch, but the driver wasn't hurt.
An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer responding to the crash hit the same icy patch and joined the Explorer in the ditch. The IMPD officer was unhurt.
The icy patch was caused by the heavy rains that covered Massachusetts Avenue, then froze overnight.
A salt truck also responded to the area and salted the road, so nobody else would side into the ditch.
