A man hit by lightning along a Bedford County road earlier this month has died.
Robert Miller died Friday at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina.
He was taken to the hospital's burn unit after a state trooper found him lying along Route 122 near Bedford July 14. Doctors determined he had burns consistent with a lightning strike.
A family member said Miller was taken off of life support late last week. He was 23.
