NORFOLK, Va. — The Virginia State Police said a person was killed after being hit by a vehicle on I-264 in Norfolk Thursday evening.

According to state police, the incident happened in the eastbound lanes of I-264 east of Ballentine Boulevard shortly before 6:30 p.m.

Investigators think 40-year-old Terhan Elliott, of Chesapeake, stopped his Toyota Camry on the shoulder of the road, got out, and started walking across I-264.

While walking on the road, a 2019 Honda CRV ran into him, and Elliott was thrown onto the left shoulder. He died from injuries related to that crash.

A spokesperson for the Virginia State Police said troopers aren't sure why Elliott got out of his car and walked on the road.

Officials didn't charge anyone for this collision.
