**Date:** [Insert Date]
**Location:** Indianapolis, Indiana
Another Indiana State Police trooper’s vehicle was involved in a crash early Sunday morning, just hours after a fellow trooper was critically injured in a separate incident on I-65 southbound. The second trooper, identified as Kari Woodard, had her vehicle struck while investigating a crash near the 116-mile marker on I-65 southbound.
The incident took place only a mile away from where Trooper Azariah Keith was critically injured the previous night. ISP Sgt. John Perrine confirmed the details in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). Fortunately, Trooper Woodard was outside of her vehicle when it was damaged and did not sustain any injuries.
Trooper Keith is currently recovering from his serious injuries at Eskenazi Hospital and remains in stable, but serious condition. The initial incident occurred on Saturday night around 9:17 p.m. when Trooper Keith was assisting a motorist in changing a tire on I-65 near 30th Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street.
Authorities have since arrested and preliminarily charged 22-year-old Armaandeep Singh in connection with the incident. Singh is facing charges of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury, operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent (ACE) of .15 or more, and reckless driving.
It is essential to highlight the dangers faced by law enforcement officers while performing their duties on the roads. Incidents like these serve as a reminder for drivers to exercise caution and adhere to traffic laws when encountering emergency vehicles.
The Indiana State Police Department is urging all motorists to move over, slow down, and give plenty of space to emergency vehicles and personnel working on the side of the road. These simple actions can help prevent further accidents and potentially save lives.
The investigation into both crashes is ongoing, and authorities are working diligently to gather all necessary evidence and information. Updates will be provided as more details become available.
In conclusion, it is crucial for drivers to prioritize the safety of emergency personnel and exercise caution when driving near accident scenes. Let us all work together to ensure the well-being of those who selflessly serve and protect our communities.
