No charges or citations will be made against a driver who struck and killed a man walking on North Lee Highway in Bradley County, according to the sheriff's office.
The incident happened overnight in the 7700 block of North Lee Highway, a news release states.
Spokesman Lt. James Bradford said investigators determined Jesse Lee Burchett, 29, of Chattanooga, was walking south in the northbound traffic lane in a very dark area when he was struck.
The release did not provide the driver's identity.
Bradford said the Tennessee Highway Patrol assisted the BCSO's Public Safety Unit while
reconstructing the scene, which led to North Lee Highway being briefly
shutdown by Tennessee Department of Transportation.
