INDIANAPOLIS — A pedestrian has died after being struck on the southwest side of Indianapolis.
Shortly before 7 p.m. Monday, IMPD officers responded to State Road 37 and Belmont Avenue for a report of a pedestrian hit by a car. Police found a victim who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers learned the pedestrian was hit by a silver Ford SUV that was traveling southbound on State Road 37. The pedestrian was then hit by another Ford SUV that was also traveling south.
After the crash, both vehicles immediately stopped and the drivers, a man and a woman, called for help, IMPD said. Both are cooperating with the investigation.
IMPD accident investigators responded to the scene.
Both drivers were taken to a local hospital for a blood draw, which is standard procedure in deadly crashes.
Preliminary information shows no signs of impairment for either driver, police said.
"The area where the crash occurred is under construction; there are no streetlights; no pedestrian crosswalks; and concrete barriers separating travel lanes, creating extremely dangerous conditions for pedestrians to make any attempts to cross the roadway," IMPD said in a statement Tuesday morning.
The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
