INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A fatal car accident occurred on Indianapolis’ west side early Saturday morning.

At approximately 5:59 a.m. Saturday morning, Indiana State Police and Wayne Township Fire Department were called to the scene of a car accident.

On arrival, police saw a 1998 Oldsmobile on the northbound on-ramp of I-465 and West Washington Street, at the 11.6-mile marker.

According to ISP, the driver of the car drove off the shoulder of Washington Street when the car hit the guard rail.

Police say the car immediately started spinning when it entered the on-ramp of I-465 northbound. It was at this time that the car then hit a second guard rail, ejecting both the driver and the passenger. The car finally came to rest on the concrete bridge over Washington Street after skidding against the guardrail.

Both the driver and the passenger were pronounced dead at the scene, their identities were not released Saturday morning.

ISP will investigate the cause.
