INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man hit by a vehicle just north of downtown Indianapolis died one day after the accident, the Marion County Coroner’s Office said Tuesday.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded around 4:15 p.m. Friday to a report of a pedestrian struck at 25th and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. streets.

Officers arrived and located the victim, 73-year-old Theodore Taylor.

Taylor was awake and breathing when transported to an Indy-area hospital, but he died of his injuries the next day.

IMPD says the driver of the vehicle that hit Taylor remained at the scene.
