INDIANAPOLIS — A man was hit by a car and critically injured on Indianapolis' southwest side Tuesday morning.
IMPD officers responded to the 3800 block of West Southport Road, just east of Mann Road, around 4:30 a.m. for a report of a pedestrian struck.
A man was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, and IMPD crash and DUI investigators responded to the scene.
Police determined the man was walking in the westbound lanes when the driver of the vehicle, also traveling westbound, swerved. The pedestrian moved in the same direction and was hit by the car, IMPD said.
The driver of the car, 25-year-old Thawng Ceu, was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will make a final charging decision in the case.
