INDIANAPOLIS — State police are investigating a deadly, fiery crash on I-65 in downtown Indianapolis Friday morning.
According to police, it happened on I-65 northbound, between Meridian and MLK streets, around 1 a.m.
Police said dispatches received a 911 call from a person inside a stalled car in the road. While on the phone, police said the vehicle was struck by another car from behind.
The collision caused the second car to spin into the path of a northbound semi-truck. The truck and the car collided, causing a fire.
Police said the driver of the semi was able to get out and was not seriously injured. The driver of the car was entrapped and died on the scene.
Investigators are unsure what caused the car to become disabled, but a malfunction caused the car to shut off and none of the lights would work, leaving it stalled with no lights. The driver of the stalled car was not seriously injured.
