Description
A Michigan man faces a reckless homicide charge after allegedly killing an Indianapolis woman in a five-car pileup.
It happened in October 2023 on the city's northwest side. State troopers believe the crash was the result of distracted driving.
Court documents allege Gavin Mosley sent 28 messages and took 15 Snapchats within 27 minutes — all while driving at 60-65 miles per hour in heavy rain down I-465, near West 86th Street, around 6:40 p.m. Oct. 5, 2023.
"It's heartbreaking because we know that phones are a distraction while driving," Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine said.
Police say Mosley was using his phone up until he crashed into the back of a stopped car, killing one woman, sending another to the hospital and causing a five-car crash. According to court documents, Mosley hadn't put his phone down for nearly the entire hour leading up to crash.
