An Indianapolis man was struck and killed on I-70 Monday.
Jus before 3 p.m. the Indiana State Police Putnamville Post and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department responded to a pedestrian being struck on Interstate 70 westbound near the 40-mile marker. A preliminary investigation revealed that a 2000 Chevrolet box-truck had stopped on Interstate 70 near the 40-mile marker on the right-edge line or white fog line. The driver then exited the box-truck and was struck by a 2024 Volvo semi-tractor trailer.
The driver of the semi immediately pulled over and is fully cooperating with the investigation.
The driver of the Chevrolet box-truck has been identified by the Putnam County Coroner’s Office as Jose Efrain Serrano Serrano, 46, of Indianapolis. As a result of the impact, Serrano Serrano sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Putnam County Coroner’s Office.
