BRAZIL, Ind. (WISH) — A pedestrian was hit and killed by a vehicle after police say they were walking along Interstate 70 in Clay County on Christmas night.

The name of the pedestrian killed will be released at a later time by the Clay County Coroner’s Office.

Indiana State Police and the Clay County Sheriff’s Department responded to a report of a pedestrian being struck on I-70 westbound near the 22-mile marker at 8:15 p.m. on Monday.

Troopers were originally dispatched to that area on reports of a pedestrian walking on the interstate for unknown reasons.
