According to IMPD, the crash happened just before 10 p.m. in the 3400 block of N. Keystone Avenue.
Police spoke with witnesses that said the driver of a pickup truck was driving southbound at a high-rate of speed, ran a red light, and crossed the center lane into the northbound lane, driving in the wrong direction.
The pickup truck then continued driving in the wrong direction and approached two northbound driving vehicles. Witnesses say the two vehicles flashed their headlights before being struck by the pickup truck.
