SEVERAL PEOPLE HURT IN MARION COUNTY CAR CRASH AFTER INDIANAPOLIS POLICE CHASE
An Auto Accident in Indianapolis involving four cars Saturday left several people hurt. The car crash happened after a chase between the suspects and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers. The chase began in downtown Indianapolis and kept going on the city's east side. No word if any of the injuries are Work Comp related.
As reported by www.theindychannel.com in the article, "Police: Chase for Suspects Ends with Crash, Injuries," Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers say the incident began after officers saw a Pontiac driving recklessly. When an officer attempted to pull the suspect over, the suspect did not stop and a chase ensued. The chase eventually ended with a four car crash. The people in the Pontiac then ran away. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers are still looking for them.
Apparently, one person was hurt when debris from the car crash hit him and caused him to fall off a ladder. It is not clear if he was on the job or if he suffered a work comp injury, but people do get hurt from falls from ladders all too often. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, on a yearly basis, about 1,400 ladder accidents that cause injuries occur. 42% of those hurt were working on the ladder when the accident happened.
