Fishers Police are continuing to investigate after one person was killed in a motor vehicle crash Thursday night on Interstate 69.
Shortly after 10 p.m., the Hamilton County Communications Center began receiving reports of a serious motor vehicle crash on I-69 at the 204 mile marker near 106th Street. Fishers Police and Fishers Department of Fire and Emergency Response arrived a short time later and located a white 2015 Freightliner semi-tractor trailer and a white 2010 Toyota RAV 4 passenger car in the southbound lanes. The Toyota was wedged under the rear of the trailer.
Paramedics located one person deceased inside the Toyota, Ernesto Moon, 43, Indianapolis. The driver of the semi, Athrist Stevenson, 26, Indianapolis, was not injured and fully cooperated with the investigation.
Based on witness statements and evidence at the scene it is believed both the semi-tractor trailer and the Toyota were traveling southbound when the Toyota rear-ended the trailer. The exact cause of this crash is yet to be determined. This crash continues to be an active investigation. Currently, alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in this crash. All southbound lanes were re-opened at 1:30 a.m. Friday morning.
