Woman dead after being hit by a car in Madison County

PENDLETON, Ind. (WISH) — A woman died Wednesday morning after being hit by a teen driver in rural Madison County, the sheriff’s department says.

Deputies with the Madison County Sheriff’s Department were dispatched to the 9100 block of South County Road 150 West around 9 a.m. to investigate a pedestrian-struck incident.

That area is about seven minutes southeast of downtown Pendleton, just off of State Route 38.

There, they located the woman dead at the scene; deputies soon learned she’d been hit by a 2013 Jeep Wrangler driven by a 17-year-old male.

The sheriff’s department says the accident is still under investigation. They did not indicate if the teen was arrested or would face charges.

The woman’s identity has not been released.
