Bicyclist hit by Officer dies
An Indianapolis Metro Police Officer, while heading to a domestic violence call around 2pm, driving eastbound on E. 10th Street, collided with a cyclist. The cyclist died after first being listed in critical condition.
IMPD said a vehicle in front of the officer failed to yield into the right lane. The officer conducted an evasive maneuver to avoid a collision with the vehicle and unsuccessfully attempted to avoid a collision with a cyclist, who was also headed westbound. The officer went to the cyclist to offer medical care and immediately called for EMS.
The officer involved in the crash was uninjured. The officer was equipped with body-worn cameras activated during the incident. Internal Affairs are conducting an administrative investigation.
