Indianapolis, IN (March 26, 2026) – At least one person was killed after a motorcycle and an SUV collided at Post Road near the Interstate 70 entrance ramp in east Indianapolis around 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 26, 2026.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, a crash investigation team was called to the scene. An IMPD spokesperson confirmed the fatality but said limited details were available at the time of the initial report.
The identity of the victim has not been publicly released. The cause of the crash has not been officially determined, and the investigation remains active.
A fatal crash leaves families with immediate questions and very few answers. Here is what Indiana law allows you to do right now.
What to Do After a Fatal Motorcycle Accident in Indiana
- Contact a wrongful death attorney before speaking to any insurance company. Following a fatal crash, insurance adjusters, including those representing the SUV driver, may contact the family quickly. You are not required to speak with them. An Indiana wrongful death attorney should be involved before any statements are made or documents signed.
- Do not sign anything. No release, no settlement offer, no authorization of any kind. Wrongful death settlements offered early almost never reflect the full financial and personal loss the family has suffered.
- Preserve all evidence you have access to. Request the official IMPD crash report once it is released. If the victim had a helmet, protective gear, or personal belongings at the scene, document and preserve everything. Your attorney can obtain additional evidence through the formal investigation.
- Act before the investigation closes. Crash investigation teams gather time-sensitive evidence – skid marks, road conditions, witness accounts- that becomes harder to access as time passes. Early legal involvement ensures your family’s interests are represented throughout the process.
Indiana’s deadline: Wrongful death claims must generally be filed within two years of the date of death (IC 34-23-1-1). This crash occurred on March 26, 2026 – your family’s deadline is March 26, 2028. Every day without an attorney is a day the other side works without opposition.
