Pedestrian Killed At I-540 Overpass Identified







Police released several 911 tapes Thursday concerning the accident.

911: “Okay, where are you?”


Those who frequent the businesses nearby on Wedington Drive said they sometimes see people walking on the road near the interstate, but don't often see pedestrians close to the heavy traffic.

"Not under the bridge. I see people walk over it, but never under," said Betty Stufflebean. "It's just a terrible tragedy."

"I've never seen anyone on 540 itself, ocassionally I see somebody on the exit a hitchhiker, trying to get picked up, but I've never seen anyone walk on the interstate," said Joe Jerrell. "It's not something you'd expect driving down 540 just suddenly someone falls off a bridge. I don't even know how I'd react to that."
