INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian Friday night along a major road on the south side of Indianapolis, police say.
The pedestrian death involving a vehicle was the third in Indianapolis since Tuesday. One of the other deaths happened just about a mile from Friday night’s crash.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was called just before 7:15 p.m. Friday to the fatal crash in the 2500 block of East Stop 11 Road east of Madison Avenue. That’s in a commercial area that includes an Indianapolis Public Library branch about a mile north of the Greenwood Park Mall.
The driver remained at the crash scene after the man was struck and killed. The driver later was taken to Eskenazi Hospital for a blood draw, a standard practice, IMPD says.
Traffic was expected to be impacted for several hours as a fatal accident team was investigating, police say.
