FISHERS – Indiana State Troopers are investigating a fatal hit-and-run crash that occurred Tuesday night on I-69 in Fishers.
Dispatchers began receiving emergency calls around 9:45 p.m. on August 18. Callers were reporting what appeared to be a deceased body in front of a van on the right shoulder of I-69 northbound just south of exit 210.
When first responders arrived, they found the remains of an adult male. The man was pronounced deceased at the scene. He was later identified as 36-year-old Gregory S. Christopher II of Parker City, Indiana.
Preliminary investigation has determined Mr. Scott had a flat tire on his van; it appears he was struck by a northbound vehicle while outside his van working on the tire. The vehicle that struck Mr. Scott did not remain on the scene. Investigators have been following leads throughout the day and continue to search for the person responsible.
