The Evening Crash on Southport-Supply Road
The Southport Fire Department was called to the intersection of Oakview Drive and Southport-Supply Road at 8:38 p.m. after a report of a crash involving a pedestrian. First responders pronounced the pedestrian dead at the scene. Authorities have not released the pedestrian's name.
What the Highway Patrol Investigation Involves
The investigation is being handled by the North Carolina Highway Patrol. Southport-Supply Road had reopened by 10:30 p.m. No charges have been announced, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Investigators often ask nearby homes and businesses for camera video soon after a crash. Many systems record over old footage after a few days or weeks, so they move fast.

Here is what families in North Carolina usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.

Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
