Funeral services are scheduled today in Elizabeth for
63-year-old Burly Roy Lockhart, who died Thursday
evening after he stepped in front of a car on State Route
5.
Lockhart, who lived just east of Elizabeth, wandered on
the highway, when Burning Spring's resident John Griffin,
38, struck the man. Griffin had left his job with the West
Virginia Department of Highways, when the incident
happened.
Authorities said Griffin was traveling at a slow rate of
speed, indicating the accident was unavoidable.
No charges have been filed.
