Indianapolis police said two people were killed. It wasn't immediately clear whether any other people were injured, and the cause of the crash wasn't known.
Another crash was reported around the same time on the 9400 block of East 38th Street.

Police are searching for a dark blue 2000-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer in that crash.
A pedestrian was then struck around 9:45 p.m. at the intersection of 86th Street and Township Line Road – just a short distance from St. Vincent Hospital.
Police said the victim, a woman, was struck by two vehicles while crossing the street. One of the vehicles fled the scene. The other driver stopped, called 911 and remained on the scene.
She was later identified as Shana Elliott, 24. Elliott was pronounced dead at the scene.
