Girl dies, at least 2 hurt in crash near Brownsburg
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (WISH) — A girl died and at least two other people were hurt after a three-vehicle crash Wednesday afternoon on State Road 267 north of Brownsburg, Hendricks County authorities said.
Emergency crews were sent to the crash about 4:15 p.m. Wednesday at State Road 267 and County Road 1000 North. That’s about 2 miles north of Brownsburg.
Amanda Goings, a spokeswoman for Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office, said in a late Wednesday night email that two juveniles in a Mercury minivan were hurt in the crash and taken to an Indianapolis hospital. She said one of them died.
Jim Miller, public information officer for Brownsburg Fire Territory, said the victim was a girl. He called the site of the crash a “known dangerous intersection.”
Goings said in an email that the minivan was traveling east on County Road 1000 North and, according to a witness, did not stop at a stop sign at State Road 267. Instead, the minivan went into the intersection and struck a Chevrolet pickup. After they crashed, the minivan and pickup moved eastward through the intersection and made contact with a Pontiac car.
The driver of the pickup, the only person in the truck, was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, Goings’ email said.
The email also said the two occupants of the car were not taken from the scene for any injuries.
The fire territory spokesman had initially reported four people were hurt in the crash, and the sheriff’s spokeswoman reported the fatality and two other people injured.
Authorities on Wednesday did not provide names of the people in the crash.
