INDIANAPOLIS — A man is now dead after being struck by an IMPD officer’s patrol car last week.
IMPD says an on-duty officer hit a pedestrian with a marked police car in the 8300 block of Michigan Road on Sept. 15.
The adult male pedestrian was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. In an update on Monday, IMPD said the pedestrian died.
He was identified as 58-year-old Rodney D. Huffman by the Marion County Coroner's Office.
The involved officer was uninjured, according to IMPD.
Investigators believe the pedestrian was crossing the street from the west side of Michigan Road to the east when the officer, who was turning out of a parking lot in the area, struck him.
As is standard procedure with any driver involved in a serious bodily injury crash, the IMPD officer was transported to an area hospital for a blood draw.
The IMPD Internal Affairs Unit is investigating the crash. IMPD said the incident is still under investigation and has not provided any more information on the officer.
