LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - A man died while crossing Interstate 65 in Clark county on Thursday night, according to Indiana State Police Sergeant Carey Huls.

Indiana State Police said they received a call regarding a pedestrian being struck on I-65 in Clarksville at around 8:30 p.m.

“It was just a tragic circumstance with somebody that was apparently attempting to cross the interstate on foot, after hours,” said Huls. “It’s not well lit, it’s damp out, it’s very dark, it’s very hard to see even with the headlights, so it’s just a tragic situation all the way around.”
