CHARLOTTE — A man died after he was hit by a car while crossing a west Charlotte road over the weekend, police said.
On Saturday, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department was called just before 11 p.m. to Freedom Drive between Ashley Road and Alleghany Street. There, they found Thermon Beaufort, 65, lying in the road seriously hurt.
A Toyota Corolla at the scene had serious front-end damage.
Beaufort was taken to the hospital where he later died from his injuries.
The driver was not hurt, CMPD said.
Investigators believe the car was heading south on Freedom Drive when Beaufort, who was walking across the road, was hit.
Beaufort’s toxicology results are pending.
