A man who stepped out in front of a vehicle succumbed to his injuries at the University of Virginia Medical Center after 7 weeks in a coma. Culpeper resident Roger “Lee” Hitt, 75, stepped in front of a 1992 Ford Explorer on the afternoon of January 5, 2009.
The driver of the Ford Explorer was traveling at about 25 miles per hour and did not have time to stop. No charges were filed against the driver because the fault of the accident was the pedestrian’s actions.
Sadly, Hitt suffered serious head injuries when he was hit by the vehicle on North Main Street, north of Mountain Run Bridge. A long time Culpeper resident, he will be missed by town residents.
