1 dead, 1 severely injured in crash following chase on near southwest side

A tragic incident took place early Friday morning in Indianapolis as a result of a police chase. The pursuit began near West Troy Avenue and Westbrook Avenue around 3:30 a.m. when officers attempted to stop a Buick LeSabre after discovering active felony warrants for the registered owner. The driver of the car refused to stop, leading to a high-speed chase exceeding 100 mph through various streets. The pursuit ended in a collision between the car and a semi truck at the intersection of Raymond and Harding streets, resulting in the death of a female passenger, identified as Alicia Lane, and leaving the male driver critically injured. Firefighters provided assistance on the scene, with the truck driver escaping unharmed. Police emphasized the dangers of such chases, urging individuals to comply with law enforcement rather than putting lives at risk. The intersection remained closed for investigation and cleanup, with authorities anticipating its reopening by 9 a.m.
