Fort Wayne, IN : 2 killed in fiery collision on 3700 block of Stellhorn on Sunday, 17th February 2019

Two people were killed in a fiery crash Sunday on Stellhorn Road.

Emergency services responded just after 5 p.m. to the 3700 block of Stellhorn on reports of a crash with two cars on fire. When first responders arrived, they found two vehicles, one fully on fire and one partially in flames, according to Mark Bieker, Fort Wayne police public information officer.

According to police, one vehicle had been traveling east on Stellhorn Road when it began to lose control in the icy conditions and spun around. The second vehicle, traveling west, tried to avoid a collision, but they crashed in the middle of the road and immediately burst into flames, according to Bieker.

The two occupants in the fully enflamed car were pronounced dead at the scene by medics. The driver in the other vehicle was outside the car when first responders arrived, and was taken to a hospital with chest pain in fair condition.

The victims will be identified later, and the crash remains under investigation.
