Five people were injured July 2 after an eastbound van slammed into the driver’s side of a SUV being driven across Stones Crossing Road immediately west of Ind. 135.
Bargersville Community Fire Department and White River Township firefighters responded to the incident shortly before noon.
Four of the victims were children. They were taken to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. The woman driving the overturned vehicle accompanied the children to the hospital. She was not seriously injured.
None of the injuries were believed life-threatening. All the victims were riding in the SUV that overturned into the south curb near a strip center entrance. Arriving firefighters found some of the children dangling upside down, bound by their safety belts.
Rural/Metro dispatched five ambulances to the scene.
The cause of the crash was being investigated by Johnson County sheriff’s deputies.
