FOR IMMEDIATE RELASE

Life-Threatening Traffic Crash

Date: January 17, 2025

Location: 3500 W. Coliseum Blvd

Time: 7:35am

Details/Summary:

On January 17, 2025, at 7:35am, officers with the Fort Wayne Police Department responded to reports of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in the 3500 block of W. Coliseum Blvd. Officers arrived and located an adult female victim in the roadway and began life-saving efforts.

Medics arrived and determined the female to be in life-threatening condition. They transported her to a local hospital, where she remains in life-threatening condition.

Initial information indicates the female was trying to walk southbound across the roadway when she was struck by a vehicle that was traveling eastbound. The driver that struck the pedestrian immediately stopped and is cooperating with police. This appears to be an accident, as neither speed nor alcohol appear to be factors at this time.

The 3500 block of W. Coliseum Blvd. will remain closed while the Crash Investigation Team is processing the scene, taking measurements and collecting evidence to determine exactly what happened.

There is nothing further at this time.
