HOMELESS MAN STRUCK BY CAR, KILLED ON I-581

State Trooper C.D. Jessee, who investigated the accident, was withholding the name of the victim until his family could be notified.

However, Jessee said the victim was a homeless man from Durham, N.C., who had been living in Roanoke.

The accident occurred about 8:10 p.m. in the southbound lane of 581, just north of the Elm Avenue bridge. Jessee said a car driven by a Beckley, W.Va., woman struck the victim as he ran across the highway.

The driver told police there was no way she could have avoided the man, Jessee said. No charges were placed.
