One person is dead and two were seriously injured in a two-vehicle accident in rural Greenwood Thursday night.
Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies responded at approximately 7:02 p.m. Thursday to a car crash in the 700 block of North Five Points Road, approximately a half mile south of County Line Road in Pleasant Township. Deputies and fire personnel located three injured subjects who were extricated and transported to Indianapolis hospitals with serious injuries, according to a Thursday night statement on the crash from Chief Deputy Andrew Barnhart.
On Friday morning, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office announced that the driver of one of the vehicles, 42-year-old Indianapolis resident Sukhwinder Singh, died from his injuries at Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis.
As for the people in the second car, both the driver and the passenger are in stable condition at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, a hospital spokesperson said.
The driver of the second car told deputies they saw Singh driving north on Five Points Road when he lost control of his vehicle and swerved into the southbound lane where they were at. Singh’s car hit them head-on, according to a sheriff’s office report.
Deputies say the speedometer on Singh’s vehicle was stuck at about 65 mph. Singh was the sole occupant of his vehicle.
