GREENFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — A Fishers man died late Tuesday night after being hit by a car as he was crossing a county road in Hancock County.

A release from the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office says the incident happened around 10 p.m.

Jaden Pelton, 25, was crossing County Road 300 North when he was struck by a Hyundai Sonata. Detectives say the Sonata may have been passing another vehicle when it hit Pelton.

Deputies say Pelton died at the scene.
