A Halifax County woman died Monday night in a pedestrian collision on Reese’s Store Road, according to the state Highway Patrol.

Sergeant E.D. Goodwin said investigation by Trooper L. Bynum continues to determine whether charges may be filed.
Bynum’s initial report indicates Shirl Monte Burnside, 47, of Reese’s Store Road in the Weldon area, was walking shortly before 8 p,m. when she was struck by an oncoming vehicle. The impact of that collision forced her into the opposite lane of travel where she was struck by another vehicle, Goodwin said.
No foul play is suspected, the sergeant said. The only contributing factor noted in the report thus far is the victim was in the roadway.
