was driving south on Enochville Avenue in a 1995 Honda when he hit Strider, said Sgt. S.F.

That area of the road is not lighted,
Small said. It is straight. There is nothing in the accident report to indicate why
he was not seen.
Small said Lipscomb and a passenger, Ricky
Lipscomb, 25, were uninjured.
He said there was no indication that the driver
had been drinking, and he was driving the speed limit in the 45-mile-per-hour zone.
No charges will be filed, he said.
The results of a toxicology test on Strider
wont be available for four to six weeks, he said.
