INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man on a bike died Friday after he was hit by a box truck on the city’s southwest side, Indianapolis police said.

The driver of the box truck stayed at the scene and was cooperating with police, according to IMPD Public Information Officer Tommy Thompson.

Investigators are not sure what led to the crash.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office will release the man’s name at a later date.
