Fatal Indianapolis truck crash death of Eamon Charles Goodrich – Obituary
A tragic accident on I-465 in Indianapolis claimed the life of 9-year-old Eamon Charles Goodrich on Thursday. The Marion County Coroner’s Office has confirmed the identity of the young victim, who was killed when a semi truck collided with stationary traffic.
The crash, which occurred at approximately 5:20 p.m. Thursday, was reported through several urgent 911 calls about a severe accident on the southbound lanes of I-465 near U.S. 31, according to Indiana State Police.
Emergency responders arrived to find a car severely damaged with an individual trapped inside and unresponsive.
Preliminary investigations suggest the semi truck driver failed to reduce speed as he approached the congested traffic, resulting in a collision with three passenger vehicles and another semi, as reported by police.
Eamon, who was seated in the back of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The car’s driver, who suffered critical injuries, and a 5-year-old girl were transported to a hospital, with the girl’s injuries being non-life-threatening.
Authorities believe the crash was primarily caused by the truck driver’s excessive speed and failure to adhere to Federal Motor Carrier Regulations concerning driving hours. There is no indication that drugs or alcohol were factors in the accident.
As of now, no charges have been filed, and the investigation by State Police and Motor Carrier Inspectors is ongoing.
