GRANT COUNTY, Ind. — A vehicle crash in Grant County resulted in a double fatality on Friday, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.
Emergency responders were dispatched to the 5900 block of Strawtown Pike at 11:13 p.m. on a report of a vehicle crash involving two vehicles.
Upon arrival, deputies found two vehicles with substantial damage. Two occupants, a male driver and a female passenger of a 2009 Chevrolet, died on the scene.
The other driver, in a 2019 Jeep Cherokee, was found on the ground outside of their SUV. The driver was transported to a hospital in the area.
Alcohol is suspected of being a contributing factor in the crash.
