Police are investigating the cause of the a motor vehicle crash that resulted in one death and another injured driver earlier today in front of a Noblesville subdivision.
At 8:20 a.m., officers responded to the intersection of Little Chicago Road and Buttonwood Drive, the entrance into West Harbour subdivision. Once on the scene, officers discovered two vehicles and two occupants were involved in the crash.
Spokesman Lt. Bruce Barnes said based on preliminary information, it appears that a 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo driven by Zachary C. Bish, 19, of Noblesville was traveling westbound on Buttonwood Drive and was attempting to turn southbound onto Little Chicago Road when the crash occurred.
“Evidence at the scene and witness statements seem to suggest that the driver of the Chevy Monte Carlo pulled into the path of a 2012 Chevy van that was traveling north bound on Little Chicago Road,” he stated.
Bish, a 2013 Noblesville High School graduate, was transported to Riverview Health Hospital in Noblesville by ambulance in critical condition. Shortly after arrival at the hospital, he died due to injuries sustained in the crash.
David E. Millis, 65, of Greenfield, the driver of the Chevy van, also was taken to Riverview with minor injuries. Barnes said there were no other occupants in either vehicle.
NPD accident reconstructionists are investigating the crash. Little Chicago Road was temporary closed between Ind. 38 and Myers Lake Drive as investigators collected information and evidence pertaining to the crash. The road was reopened at 10:56 a.m. Barnes said the cause of the crash is still under investigation.
