Early Sunday morning a Bedford County man died after police say he was hit by a car. The Roanoke County Sheriff's office says that a Bedford County juvenile hit 44-year-old Lorenzo Keith Coley, who was walking down Hardy road.
When the juvenile stopped suddenly, a second car rear ended their car, but police say that wasn't a factor in Coley's death. Witnesses say Coley was wearing dark clothing and was walking with his back to on-coming traffic.
Coley was taken to Carilion (web) Roanoke Memorial Hospital, where he later died. The accident happened around 3:30 Sunday morning on Hardy Road at Beechwood Drive in Roanoke County. The investigation is ongoing.
