Indy Radio: Pick-Up Crashes Into WFMS Building


A pickup crashed Thursday into the studio of Country WFMS 95.5 FM, according to a Facebook post from the station.

The accident happened about 6 PM Thursday and luckily no one at the station was hurt, a spokesperson for the Indiana State Police said. The driver was said to be in critical condition, ISP said Friday morning.

The driver suffered a medical emergency before the crash and is currently hospitalized, said Scott Zigmond, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Performance Services, the company that owns the pickup the man was driving.

There was "no training manual for what happened," said Chuck Fredrick, vice president and market manager of Cumulus Media Indianapolis, which owns 95.5 WFMS.




Reconstruction of the studio is in the works, Fredrick said. For now, the station will operate out of its support studio.

"This has been a very unfortunate situation, but we here at Cumulus Media Indianapolis have been very blessed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the driver," Fredrick wrote in an email.
