INDIANAPOLIS — State police say a man who stopped to help others with car trouble was struck and killed by a semitrailer on the shoulder of Interstate 465 in Indianapolis.
The crash happened late Wednesday after the car had pulled onto the right shoulder because of tire trouble near I-74 on the city's southeast side. Police say the man stopped his pickup truck behind the car and had gotten out with his passenger when the semitrailer drifted over, hitting the truck, the two men and a passenger from the car.
The pickup truck driver was killed instantly, while the other two men hit were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
Police are blaming inattention by the semi driver for the crash. The name of the man killed wasn't immediately released.
