According to authorities, a 2009 Nissan Xterra SUV and a 2015 Jeep Wrangler collided about 9:50 a.m. yesterday, resulting in the deaths of two 49-year-old men: the SUV driver and a passenger sitting in the rear driver’s-side seat. A 55-year-old woman, who was a front-seat passenger, and a 51-year-old passenger, whose gender was not disclosed, were airlifted to Indianapolis hospitals with serious injuries.
The Jeep’s 18-year-old driver, who was the only occupant, was not physically injured. The cause of the crash appears to be the SUV’s failure to yield, as it entered the intersection on County Road 825 West and collided with the Jeep, which was traveling west on County Road 200 South. North-south traffic is halted at the intersection, which is nestled about a half-mile from Lapel High School. The intersection is located in a rural area approximately a 55-minute drive northeast of downtown Indianapolis. The identity of the victims has been withheld pending notification of next of kin by the Madison County Coroner’s Office.
