Troopers say a pedestrian lost his life in a recent accident in McMinn County.

The report released today states a GMC driven by a 16-year-old was driving north on County Road 48 at nighttime.

Troopers say the teenager did not see 53-year-old Verline J. Everhart Jr. walking on the side of the road. Everhart was wearing dark clothing on an unlit road.

The GMC hit Everhart. He passed away from injuries sustained in the impact.
