A Siloam man was killed Monday morning when he was struck by a tractor-trailer on U.S. 52 South, near the Cook School Road exit.
Marvin H. Bledsoe Sr., of Siloam, 85, had for some reason stopped his car on the shoulder of the southbound lane of U.S. 52, then wondered into oncoming traffic when he was struck, according to North Carolina Highway Patrol First Sgt. J.M. Church.
The sergeant said officials do not yet know why Bledsoe had exited his car. “It was nearby, and wasn’t broken down,” Church said.
David Speight, interim Surry County Emergency Services director, said the incident occurred shortly after 6 a.m., when conditions were still dark. He said that Bledsoe was standing or walking in the right-hand traffic lane when he was struck.
