INDIANAPOLIS — A Brownsburg man has died following an early morning crash on Interstate 465 in Indianapolis.
According to Indiana state police, troopers responded to a crash with injury on I-465 on the city’s southwest side. Upon arrival, they located a vehicle with two unresponsive people trapped inside.
Indianapolis Fire Department crews immediately began work to free the two passengers.
24-year-old driver Brandon Machingura of Brownsburg, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
