Umbrella blamed for car crashing into east side home

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An umbrella is being blamed for an accident that sent a car crashing into a home on the east side of Indianapolis on Sunday.

It happened around 7 p.m. in the 7900 block of Cross Willow Boulevard, near Brookville Road and South Franklin Road.

According to officials, a woman behind the wheel of a Ford Focus swerved to avoid hitting a vehicle. That’s when she says an umbrella got stuck under the pedals.
