Deputies responded to a 911 call fielded by the county’s central dispatch. The caller indicated seeing a body alongside the roadway and believed it was a person hit by a car.
Emergency personnel found a male subject deceased in a grassy area on the side of the roadway.
Name of the victim is being withheld pending notification of family.
