The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says there have been more than 6,000 hit-and-run crashes this year, 21 of which have been deadly. That's the most on record since 2011.
Most recently, a man was killed in a hit-and-run while he was walking early Sunday on the city's east side, police say.
Officers responded to that location about 4:05 a.m. for a report of a deceased person. When they arrived, they found Sawyer not awake or breathing.“If you hit somebody, it's going to be an impact and the most natural thing for anybody to do when they run over something is loop back and try to see what they hit,” said Clinton Webster, who walks in the area where Sawyer was hit and killed on Sunday.
IMPD says that in 2021, there were 20 total fatal hit-and-runs. Of those, 13 of those killed were pedestrians.
