FRONT ROYAL – Front Royal Police continue the investigation into a pedestrian fatality that occurred Friday evening around 6:30 p.m.  Calum A. Turner, 27, of Front Royal was struck and killed by a tractor trailer at the intersection of South Street and Commerce Avenue .

Major Kevin Nicewarner said in a media release that Turner was struck by the tractor trailer, which was located a short distance from the scene.  The release states, “The driver has been identified and is cooperating with authorities in the investigation.”

Front Royal Police officers were on the scene for over three hours directing traffic and working the scene; a Front Royal Public Works utility truck blocked off traffic at the entrance of the Royal Plaza shopping center, which allowed first responders to process the incident scene.
