Indianapolis biking advocates reeling from the deaths of seven people this year in collisions between vehicles and cyclists are calling for the city to do more to try to prevent such crashes.

Advocates for safer roads for bikes and pedestrians are speaking out about the lack of proper sidewalks and bike lanes in Indianapolis.

A pair of state lawmakers say drivers in Indiana need a "hard reset in what's expected of them behind the wheel."

Hoosiers caught violating Indiana's hands-free driving law will now get an added penalty: points on their driving record, enough of which can lead to a suspension of their license.

Indiana saw a more than an 8 percent increase in fatal car crashes last year, despite more people staying at home, and the increase was significantly larger in Hamilton and Marion counties.

Hoosiers likely won't be getting speeding tickets from highway speed cameras anytime soon. That's after House Bill 1465 to create a pilot program for such cameras is all but dead this session.

The measure would allow speeding tickets for drivers caught by the cameras going at least 12 miles per hour over the limit.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says the systems could prevent crashes that happen when trucks don't stop for slower or stopped traffic in freeway construction zones and is calling on the federal government to require the systems on new large trucks.

The agency said the "intersection conflict warning systems" are being put in place to alert drivers of traffic at two-way, stop sign-controlled intersections.

The Indianapolis Fire Department said the fire engine was responding to reported possible fire Sunday morning when a woman driving a silver 2002 Jeep Liberty collided with it on the city's south side.
