"I came out to sweep the parking lot. I looked over and saw about 10 people surrounding a guy lying on the middle of the street," Dunn said.

Dunn said Keyes was a regular customer at the gas station where he works.

"I was shocked, when I found out that it was somebody that I knew," Dunn said.

Another employee who knew Keyes said the man had moved to Chesterfield from Chesapeake for work.

"His sister came in earlier asking about what happened and they were pretty tore up," Stephanie Joyner said. "And it kinda breaks your heart, it makes you want to cry a little bit because they lost somebody that they care that much."

Police said the driver of the car "immediately stopped" and stayed at the scene. There has been no word yet if he is facing any charges.

Sumner said the investigation into the crash is ongoing.
