Carmel, IN (September 22, 2025) – A serious multi-vehicle collision occurred Monday near the 125-mile marker of US-31 northbound, just south of E. 116th St. in Carmel. The crash involved three vehicles and resulted in injuries significant enough to require the dispatch of three ambulances to the scene.

While full details on the victims’ conditions have not been released, scanner updates confirmed that medical transport was necessary for those hurt in the crash. First responders worked to stabilize patients on site before they were taken to nearby medical facilities.

High-Speed Corridor Collisions on Indiana Highways
Crashes along high-speed roadways like US-31 often involve multiple vehicles and can lead to severe injuries, especially when traffic is dense or moving at elevated speeds. The incident near the 125MM in Carmel illustrates how quickly conditions can deteriorate when a sudden stop, lane change, or misjudgment occurs in a tightly packed flow of traffic.
Multi-vehicle crashes typically result in a wide range of injuries—from soft tissue trauma to more serious head and spinal injuries—depending on the force and angle of impact. In cases requiring multiple ambulances, injuries are often spread across several victims and vehicles, which can complicate emergency response efforts and slow traffic flow significantly.
Indiana transportation officials continue to emphasize the importance of maintaining safe following distances, using turn signals when changing lanes, and remaining focused at all times while driving on major corridors like US-31. These small habits can make a meaningful difference in preventing crashes and reducing injury severity.
