INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - An Indianapolis police squad car has struck and killed a pedestrian on the city's southwest side.
The collision occurred about 11 p.m. Sunday on Kentucky Avenue, police spokeswoman Officer Genae Cook said.
An officer was on patrol when he struck a man who was walking on the street, Cook said. The officer stopped immediately and administered first aid, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene, Cook said. The area was dark, she said.
The officer's blood was drawn and will be tested for drugs and alcohol, which is standard in fatal crashes, Cook said.
Neither the officer nor the victim have been identified.
