Narrative:
After landing ind runway 5R, exited runway 5R at taxiway D3. Received taxi instructions to ramp at main terminal. We missed taxiway north and began to cross runway 32/14 at taxiway D rather than taxiway H. Ind ground gave permission to go ahead and cross runway 32/14 and taxi to ramp. Contributing factor to this error was we followed a commuter jet down final, and off runway (he was about 1/2 mi ahead). He evidently received taxi of taxiway D, taxiway M, taxiway H and parked at same ramp. I mistakenly followed him and had not been to ind in a long time.
