WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - A Forsyth County Sheriff’s deputy has died after being hit by a car earlier this month.

WFMY-TV reports that 38-year-old Deputy Sheriff J.T. Isenhour was directing traffic Sept. 18 at a bike race in Clemmons when he was hit by a car.

Isenhour was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Hospital, where he died from his injuries Wednesday morning.



The North Carolina State Highway Patrol says the driver was a 92-year-old woman who said she didn’t see Isenhour directing traffic. The District Attorney’s Office will decide whether charges will be brought against the driver.

Isenhour had been with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office since Oct. 2015.
