INDIANAPOLIS — A civil suit has been filed against the suspect in a hit-and-run from June and the company he reportedly worked for.

An attorney for the victim's family argues the crash could've been avoided if the company had done a thorough background check before hiring the suspect, or intervened when he started showing red flags.

According to lawyer Brandon Yosha with Yosha Law, 28-year-old Jaylen Brown's life will never be the same after getting hit by a car while riding his bike home from work. He adds it should've never happened because the suspected driver was wanted in another state at the time of the crash.

"It was entirely preventable," Yosha said. "That's what is so infuriating about this case."
