(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man is dead after being struck by a car driven by his wife.

At about 3 p.m. yesterday, emergency responders were called to the Tall Timbers apartment complex near State Road 212 on the city’s far east side.

Kyle Suarez, 24, was found unresponsive and later died after being taken to a hospital for medical attention.

The investigation shows Suarez was involved in an altercation in the parking lot of the housing complex, where his spouse, 34-year-old Miranda Eggleston Suarez, wanted to leave and while doing so drove into her husband before hitting a pick-up truck and fleeing the scene. She later returned, only to be taken into custody.

Right now, she’s charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident Causing Death, a Level 4 felony that carries a potential two-to-12-year sentence.

Additional charges are possible, dependent on the findings of the still-ongoing investigation.
