1 killed, 2 injured in I-69 crash (Scion driver died)
I sure hope it wasn't anyone from SL (although anyone killed by a drunk is terrible).

A man was killed tonight when the car he was driving collided with another vehicle that flipped over an I-69 barrier near Fishers.
Police said the car – a Chevrolet Monte Carlo – that vaulted the barrier was driven by a man who was cutting in and out of traffic. Police suspect alcohol was involved in the crash.
Fishers police did not immediately release the names of the victims, but said the Monte Carlo driver and a passenger were seriously injured. Both were taken to Methodist Hospital.
The crash was reported at 6:53 p.m. on I-69 just south of the 116th Street interchange, said Fishers Police Sgt. Gerry Hepp.
The interstate is three lanes wide in both directions. Hepp said the Monte Carlo was heading northbound on the highway, darting in and out of truck traffic.
At one point the Monte Carlo swerved out of control and hit the concrete center divider. The car barreled into snow that was piled against the divider and launched over the barrier, where it was struck by a southbound Scion. The driver of the Scion died at the scene, police said.
Traffic on I-69 was blocked for several hours but police expect the highway to reopen tonight.
The Hamilton County Fatal Alcohol Crash Team is investigating the crash.
