Shelbyville man killed in crash, another hurt

By Eli Whaley

SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (WISH) - Early Thursday morning the Shelby County Sheriff's Department got a call at the site of Ind. 9 and Shelby County Road 350 South. When officers arrived they noticed a flipped-over 2007 black Pontiac G5 and a fatally wounded driver.

The police pronounced the driver, Christopher Ayers, 28, Shelbyville, dead at the scene. They also reported that the passenger, Jacob Vincent, 19, Shelbyville, was conscious and alert at the scene.

The police investigation said the Pontiac was headed south on Ind. 9 and suddenly left their current lane. The vehicle then flipped and came to a complete stop on the west side of Ind. 9.

During the crash, Ayers was ejected from the car. He was not wearing a seatbelt. Vincent was, however, wearing a seatbelt and was flown to Methodist Hospital. Police said he was in stable condition Thursday afternoon.

Blood was taken from the driver and will be submitted for testing.
