Patrolman Hedgpath was killed in a motorcycle accident while on patrol in Duplin County.
Trooper Hedgpath, You have been recently honored in Laurinburg by our great state and the Highway Patrol. We have dedicated the bridge at US-74 and US-401 in your name. This bridge is in an area that will be seen by thousands every day. I was at the ceremony and was introduced to some of your extended family. They were very grateful for this recognition.
I have passed through the curve where your collision happened and I think about it often. That same curve has claimed many vehicles since your death. Some of them were even officers' vehicles.
Thanks for being a great Trooper.
State Trooper
N.C. State Highway Patrol
