Police responded to emergency calls of a pedestrian struck, and upon arrival on-scene, found an injured adult male. The man had been crossing Lee Highway on foot when he was struck by a vehicle. The victim later died as a result of his injuries.

Less than an hour later, at 6:37 AM, police responded to reports of a single-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle near Bristow Road and Independent Hill Drive. A preliminary investigation revealed that the male driver of the motorcycle lost control and crashed into a tree while traveling on Bristow Road. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
