INDIANAPOLIS — One person is dead after a two-car crash on Indy's east side Sunday morning.

Police said the crash involved a semi or large box truck and an SUV. It happened shortly after 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

The truck had the right of way and was going northbound on Emerson Avenue. The driver of the SUV, which was traveling eastbound on Washington Street, didn't stop at the traffic light. The two vehicles collided, and the SUV hit a light pole.

The driver of the SUV had to be pulled from the vehicle and died as a result of the crash. The driver of the truck did not suffer serious injuries and stayed on the scene to cooperate with police.

Police said the speed of the SUV was a factor in the crash. There weren't any passengers in either of the vehicles.
