One killed, three injured in crash on the northeast side

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — This story has been updated to include the victim’s name.

A woman died and three others were injured in a fatal vehicle accident on Indianapolis’ northeast side Sunday morning.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified the woman on Monday as Martha Henriquez, 52.

Online police reports show that Indianapolis Fire Department crews were called to the intersection at Kessler Boulevard East Drive and Tuxedo Street around 9:50 a.m. on a report of an accident with injuries.

That’s near the Glendale Town Center shopping area near North Keystone Avenue and East 62nd Street.

Shortly after, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to the same intersection for a fatal accident.

IMPD later said in an update that Henriquez was driving eastbound on Kessler in a gray car when at some point, she collided with a white van driving westbound.

Henriquez was pronounced dead at the scene.

The man driving the van and two adult passengers were taken to a hospital for treatment. The driver also submitted to a blood draw, which is policy when there is a fatal accident.

Police say the van driver didn’t show signs of impairment on the scene.

IMPD says the area of Kessler and Tuxedo will be shut down for an unspecified amount of time while crews investigate.
