On Tuesday, February 21st, 2017, at approximately 12:18 p.m., Carmel Police responded to an accident in the roundabout of Range Line Road and Carmel Drive. Officers arrived and found two vehicles involved in the crash.
Based on preliminary information, it appears that a white 2012 Ford E-350 van operated by Louis J. Guzman (32-year-old from Indianapolis, IN) was traveling southbound Range Line Road in the left travel lane. While in the roundabout of Range Line Road and Carmel Drive, Guzman abruptly changed lanes and collided with a Carmel Police white 2015 Harley Davidson Electra Glide motorcycle. The motorcycle was operated by Carmel Police Officer Scott Spillman (47-year-old from Carmel, IN).
It appears the white Ford van turned into the side of the white Harley Davidson motorcycle as it was traveling in the right travel lane of southbound Range Line Road and Carmel Drive. Spillman was transported to 86th Street St. Vincent Hospital with a leg/ankle injury.
The driver of the white Ford van (Louis J. Guzman) was arrested for Operator Never Licensed (Class C-Misdemeanor). Guzman was also cited for Expired License Plates and Unsafe Lane Change.
