INDIANAPOLIS — A man was killed after running across Interstate 65 and getting hit by a car Monday morning on Indy's south side.
Just before 9 a.m. Aug. 12, Indiana State Police dispatchers started getting 911 calls about a serious crash involving a pedestrian on I-65, near the 107 mile marker.
When IFD and ISP arrived, they said they found a man unresponsive lying in the road. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Tuesday, Aug. 13, the Marion County Coroner's Office identified the man as 46-year-old Ryan Matthew McKelvey.
ISP said the man was trying to run across the interstate, and several vehicles had to take "evasive action" to avoid hitting him.
The driver of a Kia SUV ended up hitting the man. Police said that driver stayed on the scene and, per state law, submitted to a blood draw. For the driver, ISP confirmed neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor in this crash.
Authorities said they are not certain where the man was coming from or going.
INDOT said the left two lanes were closed for cleanup and during the investigation. All lanes were back open around 10:30 a.m.
