May 10 marked the one-year anniversary of the fatal crash that resulted in the death of 25-year-old Lawrence resident Jonathan Macklin.
Lawrence Police Dept. officers have investigated hundreds of tips and white SUVs in the year since, but neither the driver nor vehicle have been identified since fleeing the scene of the crash, which occurred on the 8100 block of Pendleton Pike the evening of May 10, 2015.
Video surveillance of the area showed a white 2000-2006 SUV — likely a Chevy Tahoe or Suburban or GMC Yukon — exiting westbound from Esquire Plaza into the path of Macklin’s oncoming motorcycle on Pendleton Pike. The motorcycle impacted the SUV at an angle on the driver’s side read of the SUV as it was turning onto Pendleton Pike and sustained damage including a broken rear window and a dangling taillight. After the impact, the white SUV continued west on Pendleton Pike without stopping.
Lawrence police continue to implore anyone with information about the crash, the driver or the white SUV involved in the crash to contact investigators or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana, where information can be shared anonymously by calling 317-262-8477, visiting CrimeTips.org or on the P3tips mobile app.
