Indianapolis Metro Police say they are looking for two people who ran from the scene of a crash that killed a baby that was in the car.

The crash happened at 11 p.m. Tuesday.

Investigators say two vehicles were eastbound on 38th Street near I-65 when one vehicle struck the other from behind.

Police say the rear vehicle ended up in a ditch and the two occupants took off running from the scene.

Overnight, police dogs and a helicopter were used to try and find the pair, but so far nothing has turned up.

The front vehicle contained a family of 5. The impact of the crash caused the smaller car to spin and eject a 7-month old from the vehicle’s rear passenger seat.

When officers arrived, they found the 7-month old near a guardrail. The baby and mother were transported to Riley Hospital for Children by ambulance.

The mother went to the hospital in good condition. The baby’s father, a teenager, and a 3-year old in the car were transported to the hospital in good condition. The baby later died at the hospital.
