INDIANAPOLIS — One person was arrested in connection with a deadly hit-and-run crash on Indianapolis' west side Saturday night, IMPD said.
Around 11 p.m. Sept. 2, officers were called to the intersection of West Kelly Street and South Lynhurst Drive, just north of Sam Jones Expressway, for a report of a fatal hit-and-run crash involving a motorcycle and a pickup truck.
At the scene, officers learned the motorcyclist was traveling northbound on Lynhurst Drive when they were struck by a gray pickup truck that was traveling eastbound on Kelly Street. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 44-year-old Wilman Yobani Ayala-Argueta.
The driver of the pickup truck fled the scene but was located less than half a mile from the crash site shortly after.
The driver of the pickup truck was transported to a local hospital for a blood draw, which is standard procedure, and eventually arrested, IMPD said.
"Impairment is believed to be a factor in this investigation," police said in a statement.
IMPD has not said exactly what charges the pickup truck driver may face.
