The Frankfort, Indiana, community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Susann Hayden-Tindall, 56, who passed away following a devastating two-vehicle collision in Fishers late Tuesday night, August 4, 2026. Her unexpected death has left family, friends, and loved ones grieving the loss of a woman whose life touched many people.

According to the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office, Hayden-Tindall was identified as the victim after emergency responders were called to the intersection of 96th Street and Allisonville Road, located along the Hamilton-Marion County line. She was pronounced dead at the scene following the crash.

The Fishers Police Department reported that the collision occurred at approximately 11:30 p.m. and involved a white Hyundai Palisade driven by Hayden-Tindall and a black Ford F-250 pickup truck operated by Cory Amick. Emergency crews responded quickly to the scene as authorities began investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.

Investigators stated that Amick remained at the location after the crash but declined medical treatment. Police said he was detained as part of an investigation into suspected Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) and that he refused field sobriety testing. Authorities later obtained a search warrant for a blood draw as part of the ongoing investigation.

During the investigation, officers reviewed footage from a nearby Flock Safety camera, which police said captured the events leading up to the collision. According to investigators, the footage showed the Ford F-250 traveling at a high rate of speed through the roundabout before striking Hayden-Tindall’s vehicle.

The Fishers Police Department’s Crash Reconstruction Team continues to examine the available evidence, including surveillance footage, forensic findings, and the results of the court-ordered blood test. Authorities are working to determine the full circumstances that contributed to the collision.

Officials have indicated that Cory Amick is facing a preliminary charge of Operating While Intoxicated Causing Death. The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office will review the investigative findings before making any final decisions regarding charges.
