Deadly Intersection Demands Change | Indianapolis News

Two lawsuits are now targeting Indianapolis officials after two fatal crashes at the same dangerous intersection near Raymond Street and the I-65 off-ramp — where 13 pedestrians and cyclists have been struck since 2022, including three deaths. Victims’ families, like Billie Jean Peterson whose fiancé Dillan Rogers was killed in 2023, say the city and state ignored safety warnings, citing poorly marked crosswalks, sidewalks too close to traffic, and speeding cars. Despite officials declining to comment, the state says safety upgrades are in progress. Peterson, who visits the site daily where a memorial now stands, hopes Dillan’s death will finally spark real change to save lives.
