INDIANAPOLIS — An early morning crash on Indianapolis’ north side killed two people and sent three others to the hospital.

IMPD says it happened just before 3 a.m. at 86th and Meridian streets.

Police say an SUV with four men inside was heading south on Meridian when it ran a red light and hit an Infiniti traveling east on 86th Street. Investigators say speed appears to have been a factor.

One man inside the SUV was found underneath the vehicle and died at the scene. The driver of the Infiniti also died.

The three other men in the SUV were taken to local hospitals. Two of them are in critical condition.

Investigators are still working to determine what led up to the crash, including whether alcohol played a role.

They’re reviewing surveillance video and asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash to come forward.
