GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — A person is dead after a fatal hit and run in Guilford County.

Two lanes on I-73 southbound at the Groometown Road exit, near I-85, were closed as troopers were on the scene.

Investigators say that Terry Joe Simmons, 63, of Greensboro, was walking southbound on I-73 when they were struck by a black Nissan Altima, a four-door sedan passenger vehicle.
