Prosecutors charge man in Indianapolis crash that killed 2

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Prosecutors have charged a man with criminal recklessness in a highway rollover crash that killed two Indianapolis teenagers.

Marion County prosecutors allege Daniel Cannon engaged in aggressive driving that's believed to have led to another car's crash. That crash killed 17-year-old Taylor Parsons and 18-year-old Brandon Gross and severely injured three others.

Cannon remains at large. He's charged with criminal recklessness and leaving the scene of an accident.

Prosecutors say Cannon and the victims' car were traveling April 18 along Interstate 70 in Indianapolis. A probable cause affidavit says witnesses reported a car was chasing the victims' car, possibly at speeds exceeding 100 mph, when it crashed.

Authorities say an incident at a local park between Cannon's sister and the victims may have sparked the high-speed chase.
