2 hit, killed in busy Indianapolis shopping area

INDIANAPOLIS — Police say two people have died after being hit by an SUV while crossing a street at night in a busy Indianapolis shopping area.

City police say 19-year-old Sydney Campbell and 21-year-old Jason Uhrin died Wednesday, the day after they were injured. They were crossing 82nd Street about a mile west of the Castleton Square Mall on the city’s northeast side when they were hit about 9:20 p.m. Tuesday.

The couple is believed to have been crossing the four-lane street from a shopping plaza to the apartment complex where they lived. That spot doesn’t have a crosswalk but apartment complex residents say people often cross there rather than walk more than a block to the nearest traffic signal.

The SUV’s driver doesn’t face any charges.
