Noblesville man killed in head-on crash

At approximately 8:36 p.m. Wednesday, Noblesville police officers responded to the area of 146th Street and Promise Road in reference to a report of a crash involving two vehicles. Officers arrived on the scene a short time later and began to investigate.

Based on preliminary information from witness statements and evidence at the scene, it appears that a 2007 Chevy Silverado pickup truck was traveling westbound on 146th Street from Marilyn Road when it suddenly crossed over the center curbed median and into the eastbound lanes of 146th Street, colliding head-on with a 2018 GMC Acadia traveling eastbound from Promise Road.

The driver of the Chevy Silverado was identified as Nicholas E. McKnight, 38, Noblesville, and pronounced deceased at the scene. There were no other passengers in the vehicle.

The driver of the GMC Acadia was identified as Jordan A. Hill, 29, Anderson. Passengers in the vehicle were identified as Hailey B. Hill, 29, and Aubrey Hill, 1, both of Anderson. All three occupants were transported by ground ambulance to Ascension St. Vincent Hospital (Indianapolis) with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Noblesville Police Department Crash Reconstruction Unit was summoned to the scene to investigate the crash and to collect evidence at the scene.

Both eastbound and westbound lanes of 146th Street between Marilyn and Promise roads were closed during the crash investigation. Both lanes of 146th Street were reopened at 12:50 a.m.

This remains an ongoing investigation.
