INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Police say a male construction worker is dead after an industrial accident happened near IU Health Methodist Hospital early Saturday morning.

The name or age of the male has not been released yet.

Officer Samone Burris with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says that just before 5 a.m. Saturday, officers were dispatched to the intersection of West 16th Street and North Senate Avenue on a report of an industrial accident.

Police say that at least one male has died. Investigators have not shared if anyone else was injured in the incident.

News 8 had a crew at the scene, who said it appeared that a beam had fallen from the old IU Health People Mover tram into the street. The People Mover closed in 2019 after 16 years of operation.

Officials with IU Health said this in a statement.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of this valued construction worker. We extend our condolences to the family and coworkers during this difficult time. 

A portion of the former people mover track collapsed while being removed this morning over 16^th Street. What led to the collapse is being investigated. The section of 16^th Street between Missouri Street and Senate Ave will remain closed during this investigation.

IMPD says that officers are working to make sure the work zone surrounding the area is safe to work in and the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been contacted.

Officers have fenced off the scene during their investigation.

INDIANAPOLIS — A Colts team that spent the past two weeks on the road surprising everybody gets to return to Lucas Oil Stadium this week with its starting quarterback in the lineup.

Rookie Anthony Richardson is out of the NFL’s concussion protocol, ready to take on the Los Angeles Rams at 1 p.m. Sunday in a game televised by WXIN-59 (FOX).

Indianapolis (2-1) gets the Rams (1-2) to start a streak of four home games in the month of October, a stretch that suddenly looks much more intriguing after the way the Colts have started the season, although injuries are piling up in the wrong spot.  

2-1 Colts ‘doing some good things’ says RB Zack Moss

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss discusses the team’s offense having success on the field.

Who is hurt on the Colts’ offensive line?

1. Richardson returns to the lineup behind a banged-up Colts offensive line that suddenly looks shaky after a strong start to the season. Left tackle Bernhard Raimann, who has been a revelation in his second NFL season, was placed in the concussion protocol during the week, and veteran center Ryan Kelly is expected to miss his second consecutive game due to a concussion. In addition, right tackle Braden Smith (wrist) and left guard Quenton Nelson (toe) are both battling injuries. The good news for the Colts? Richardson is much more elusive than Gardner Minshew, who was sacked five times against Baltimore, and the Rams defense has just five sacks through the first three games.

2. The bad news for the Colts is that the best two pass rushers on the other side will likely be working against reserves. The Los Angeles defense is still led by three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, and the Rams will likely try to get him matched up against Wesley French, who played well in his first NFL start last week but hasn’t faced a player like Donald. The team’s plans at left tackle remain murky — Indianapolis could use either fourth-round rookie Blake Freeland or swingman Arlington Hambright — but whoever mans that position will likely be matched up against emerging Los Angeles pass rusher Byron Young, who has two sacks and is tied for fourth in the NFL with seven quarterback hits.

3. The young Rams defense hasn’t made many big plays so far; Los Angeles has forced just one turnover in addition to its five sacks this season, numbers that rank in the bottom eight of both categories. On the other hand, Los Angeles hasn’t given up a whole lot of yards. The Rams rank eighth in the NFL in yards allowed (284.7 per game), 13th in rushing yards allowed (103.7) and seventh in passing yards allowed (181.0). If the Los Angeles defense has a weakness, it’s a rush defense that has given up 4.51 yards per carry (24th in the NFL), including a big day to Christian McCaffrey, and hasn’t faced a running quarterback yet. Indianapolis may be able to churn out yards with its one-two punch of Richardson and Zack Moss.

Can Anthony Richardson stay healthy?

4. When Richardson’s on the move, he has to do a better job of identifying threats and avoiding the big hit. The rookie has taken two big hits in his two NFL starts, both of the hits knocking him from the game, but the Colts can’t take the lethal threat of Richardson’s legs away after his two electric touchdowns against the Texans two weeks ago. Richardson simply has to be better aware of the contact that’s coming.

5. An Indianapolis passing game that is averaging a paltry 5.8 yards per attempt — Richardson is averaging 5.9, Minshew 5.8 — might not have a lot of chances for explosive plays against the Rams. Los Angeles has allowed just five passing plays of 20 yards or more this season, and the Colts have produced seven (22nd in the league). Even if Indianapolis wants to get deep threat Alec Pierce more involved, it might be tough against the zone coverages the Rams prefer to use.

6. If the Rams continue to play back, the volume might continue for Michael Pittman Jr., who is the only receiver in the NFL with at least eight catches in every game so far, and slot receiver Josh Downs. Pittman has 25 catches for 230 yards this season, and Downs is second with 15 catches for 124 yards. Pittman, in particular, could have a big day after Bengals star Ja’Marr Chase had 12 catches against the Rams on Monday night.

The Colts could face their fourth backup left tackle in four games

7.  Indianapolis defensive end Samson Ebukam could be facing his fourth consecutive backup at the left tackle position. Los Angeles left tackle Alaric Jackson is expected to be a game-time decision due to a hamstring injury, six days after Cincinnati edge rusher Trey Hendrickson picked up two big sacks against backup Rams tackle Joseph Noteboom. Ebukam has two sacks, three quarterback hits and a fumble forced this season, and he’ll be a key for the Colts defense.

8. The Indianapolis pass rush has been devastating so far, piling up 12 sacks through three games, tied for the second-best mark in the NFL despite facing a pair of quick-throwing offenses in Jacksonville and Baltimore. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is averaging 2.68 seconds from time to throw this season, and it’s likely the Colts will try to make Stafford hold the ball long enough for DeForest Buckner, Kwity Paye and the rest of the Indianapolis pass rush to get home.

9. Rams rookie Puka Nacua (30 catches, 338 yards) and third-year receiver Tutu Atwell (17 catches, 246 yards) have been highly productive in Cooper Kupp’s absence to start the season, and they have a favorable matchup against Colts cornerbacks JuJu Brents and Dallis Flowers, who are still young. Indianapolis has given up 6.8 yards per dropback so far this season, a number that ranks 22nd in the NFL, and the Rams passing game has been a top-10 attack both in terms of yards (284 per game, 4th in the league) and yards per dropback (6.76, 9th).

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 4 of the NFL season ahead of their Sunday game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Center Ryan Kelly is OUT for this Sunday’s game against the Rams. Kelly is set to miss his second week of playing time due to a concussion. It looked like Kelly was passing through the concussion protocol well this week but he missed practice today meaning he did not pass through the final stages of the protocol. With Kelly out expect Wesley French to start in his place.

Left tackle Bernhard Raimann is OUT for this Sunday’s game against the Rams. Raimann was a surprise name in the injury report as he didn’t appear on it until today. It appears he sustained a concussion during practice today which knocked him out of Sundays game. With Raimann out expect Blake Freeland to get the start in his place.

Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner is QUESTIONABLE for this Sunday’s game against the Rams. Buckner has missed practice all week with a groin injury and could be set to be unavailable this week. Losing Buckner would be a huge loss to a defensive line that has played lights out this year. If Buckner can’t play then expect Taven Bryan to start in his place.

Guard Quentin Nelson is QUESTIONABLE for this Sunday’s game against the Rams. Nelson has been dealing with a toe injury for most of the year and it appears to be still limiting him. He did manage to practice today but he is questionable and could still miss the game. It looks like he may play but if he is unable to go the. Expect Josh Sills to get the start.
