Two killed in accident on Ind. 111 in Floyd County
Two others airlifted following wreck near casino
Two Central Indiana men are dead following a crash on Ind. 111 in Floyd County near Horseshoe Casino.
Floyd County Coroner Leslie Knable said Tomas Fung, 26, of Nineveh, and Jordan Burries, 26, of Indianapolis both died at the scene.
Two others in the vehicle suffered serious injuries but were responsive.
The accident occurred at approximately 11:30 p.m., according to a press release from the Floyd County Combined Accident Reconstruction Team.
A preliminary investigation shows the four friends were traveling in a black Dodge Neon south on Ind. 111 when the vehicle crossed the center line and struck a northbound Toyota Camry. The Dodge then continued south where it left the east side of the roadway and struck a tree.
Sung was driving, and Burris was the front seat passenger in the Dodge. The two passengers in the back seat were airlifted to University Hospital in Louisville with serious injuries. They have not yet been identified.
The driver of the Toyota was not injured.
Police say further investigation will determine whether speed or alcohol contributed to the accident.
Police received a cellular 911 call notifying them of the accident. Floyd County, New Albany, and Indiana State Police all responded along with the New Chapel Fire Department, Yellow Ambulance, Stat-Care Air Ambulance and Floyd County coroner.
