INDIANAPOLIS — An 18-year-old has died following a crash in Fishers, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Sunday.
According to the HSCO, the incident occurred on Saturday around 9:03 p.m. Preliminary investigation shows a white 2016 BMW 340 was heading south on Florida Rd. from 113th St. The HCSO said a silver 2015 Toyota Rav4 was also traveling north on Florida Rd. near Geist Park.
The BMW attempted to pass a southbound car and entered the northbound lane. As the car came over the hill, the HCSO said the driver knew a crash was imminent, pulled to the right to avoid the Toyota and overcorrected.
This caused the Toyota to travel off the east side of the road, hitting a mailbox, the HCSO wrote.
Meanwhile, the BMW slid through the grass, hit a tree and caught on fire. Per the HCSO, the passenger in the BMW was identified as 18-year-old Indianapolis resident Mason Alexander. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Alexander was a graduate of Hamilton Southeastern High School and a cornerback for the University of Pittsburgh’s football team.
The crash remains under investigation.
