INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating after a woman was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Indianapolis' southwest side Wednesday evening.
The crash happened around 9:40 p.m. Sept. 18 in the 2300 block of South Lynhurst Drive, which is just north of Sam Jones Expressway.
According to an IMPD spokesperson, officers were called to the area on a report of a hit-and-run crash. There they found a woman in the road with trauma. She was taken in critical condition to Eskenazi Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
On Thursday, Sept. 19, the Marion County Coroner's Office identified the woman as 30-year-old Alexandra Rose Leal.
"The striking suspect had fled the scene prior to officers' arrival," a spokesperson said in a statement Thursday.
Witnesses at the scene told 13News the woman was hit by a truck when she went to grab something out of the roadway.
Lynhurst Drive was closed between Kelly Street and Bradbury Avenue during the on-scene investigation.
