Indianapolis, IN (December 26, 2025) – A woman was killed early Friday morning in a hit-and-run collision on the city’s west side. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) officers responded to the intersection of North Girls School Road and Rockville Road, just west of I-465, at approximately 12:30 a.m.
Upon arrival, they discovered a woman near the roadway with critical injuries. She was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Investigators believe a vehicle traveling northbound on South Girls School Road struck the woman as she walked along the east side of the road.
While the suspect vehicle was later located and towed from the 500 block of Beachway Drive, the driver remains at large.
Pedestrian Accidents in Indianapolis, IN
Pedestrian safety remains a critical concern in Indianapolis, particularly in high-injury corridors like Rockville Road, 38th Street, and Madison Avenue, where a lack of infrastructure and high vehicle speeds often result in fatal outcomes for vulnerable road users.
Under Indiana Code § 34-11-2-4, victims and surviving family members generally have a two-year statute of limitations to file a wrongful death or personal injury claim. However, cases involving government-owned vehicles or municipal road hazards require a Tort Claim Notice within as little as 180 days.
In many hit-and-run scenarios, families may seek financial recovery through Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage, which is designed to provide compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of companionship even when the at-fault driver is unknown.
