INDIANAPOLIS — A pedestrian died and one other person suffered serious injuries in a crash early Monday on the city's west side, police say.
It happened at South Girls School Road and Washington Street, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

"(We are) asking drivers to please avoid the area until the street reopens," Burris said in an email to WRTV.

The pedestrian was identified as Kevin Himsel, 60.
Another driver was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to police.
