State police say Miles Williams was changing a tire on his Nissan Altima when he was struck by a passing vehicle Wednesday morning.

JASPER COUNTY, Ind. — A 25-year-old man from Noblesville was killed in a crash in northwest Indiana Wednesday.

Miles Williams was outside of his vehicle near the 230 mile-marker of Interstate 65 southbound around 9:45 a.m. when he and his Nissan Altima were hit by a southbound Chevrolet Equinox, state police said. Williams suffered severe injuries and died at the scene. 

Investigators said Williams had pulled off of the left side of the interstate after his passenger-side rear tire went flat. He parked partially in the grass, but police said part of his car was still in the left travel lane of the interstate. He was attempting to change his tire when he was hit.

The Chevrolet came to rest in the grassy median after hitting Williams and his car. There is no word if the driver, a 42-year-old man from Michigan, was injured in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation by Indiana State Police.
