IndyGo bus collides with two other vehicles

Indianapolis, Indiana – The near northside was the scene of a collision involving an IndyGo bus and two other vehicles on Saturday morning, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Police were called to the intersection of East 32nd Street and Central Avenue at around 8:35 a.m. on a complaint of a multiple-vehicle accident. The Mapleton – Fall Creek community is close by.

When police arrived, they discovered that a green Cadillac, a white shuttle van, and an IndyGo bus had collided close to the crossing.

Each car’s drivers were transferred to a local hospital for medical attention. They were reported to be in good health.

According to the police, the bus had no passengers.

Residents of the area who spoke with News 8 on the scene said the crossroads has long been a source of worry for residents.

The crossing hasn’t ever been “a pleasant experience,” according to 13-year local resident Jeff Crane, who has advised his family’s new drivers to stay away from there.

“There should be better traffic regulations going on,” Aarin Jordan, another resident, said. “There are stop signs along (Central Avenue), but (drivers) just roll on through here like they don’t care.”

Jordan also says there is a lot of walking traffic in the area, including children walking to school. “You really have to double stop here, because (someone getting hit), it’s destined to happen,” she said.

“Hopefully an accident (like this) is enough to get someone’s attention,” Crane said.

Carrie Black, the director of communications for IndyGo, stated on Saturday that the organization adheres to incident guidelines.

To learn more about what led to the collision, investigators are seeking to collect more information.
