Fatal Hit and Run Investigation - IP260044651

This morning, June 7th, 2026, a Cumberland Police Officer was flagged down in the 11500 block of E. Washington Street by a passerby stating something was in the roadway. The Officer located an injured child and began life saving efforts. The child was then transported to Riley Hospital where they were pronounced deceased.

Preliminarily, it is believed the child is diagnosed with autism and was able to exit their residence early this morning without detection. At some point, the child entered E. Washington Street / US40 and was struck by a motor vehicle. The vehicle was not on scene when officers arrived and no one has come forward as of this time.

Cumberland Police Investigators are on scene and obtaining video from the area, as well as speaking with any witnesses, to locate a suspect vehicle. CMPD requested assistance from the IMPD Traffic Division who assisted with Accident Reconstruction. The Marion Co. Coroner's and the Department of Child Services both responded and are assisting with the investigation.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Cumberland Police Department at (317) 894-3525 or CrimeStoppers at (317) 262-TIPS.

Cumberland Metropolitan Police Department to increase patrols to target distracted driving and speeding

CMPD is partnering with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) to increase patrols aimed at reducing speeding and distracted driving on Indiana roadways.

As part of the Comprehensive Highway Injury Reduction Program (CHIRP), an ICJI initiative that provides federal funding for local traffic safety enforcement, officers will work overtime beginning April 4 through April 13, 2026, to identify and stop drivers who are speeding or violating Indiana’s Hands-Free Law.

“Distracted driving and speeding are preventable behaviors that put drivers, passengers, and pedestrians at risk,” said Douglas Huntsinger, executive director of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “This campaign is a reminder that these actions have real consequences, and law enforcement officers are actively working to keep Indiana’s roads safe.”

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Indiana recorded 249 speeding-related fatalities in 2023, and distracted driving accounted for 47 fatal incidents. However, limitations in data collection suggest that the actual number of deadly crashes caused by distracted drivers is likely higher than reported.

“Distracted driving and speeding remain major contributors to serious and deadly crashes,” said Chief Suzanne Woodland. “These actions are illegal and endanger everyone on the road. Officers will step up enforcement and ticket anyone caught violating these laws.”

Indiana’s Hands-Free Law, which took effect in 2020, prohibits drivers from holding mobile devices while operating a motor vehicle. Calls may only be made using hands-free technology, such as Bluetooth, headset, or any other hands-free technology.
To help prevent dangerous driving behaviors, ICJI and law enforcement encourage motorists to:

• Put the phone down and avoid multitasking while driving
• Obey posted speed limits and adjust speed for road conditions
• Allow extra travel time, especially during busy commute periods
• Keep a safe distance between vehicles

CHIRP is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.
