INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating after a man died from being struck by a vehicle in the parking lot of a bar on the west side of Indianapolis early Saturday morning.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Southwest District officers responded to the Checkered Flag Tavern, located at 5725 W Morris St., on reports of a person struck by a vehicle at 12:30 a.m.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male in the parking lot of the bar with trauma to his body. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
