CLARKSVILLE, TENN. — A family is grieving the loss of a Fort Campbell soldier who was killed Sunday night while trying to flag down help on Intestate 24.

At about 11:43 p.m., Tyler Carl Wilsdorf, 23, of Dadesville, Ala, was riding as a passenger in a car that was traveling east on Interstate 24 from Exit 4, when the driver became lost and tried to make a u-turn in the eastbound lanes near the six mile marker, according to wreck report by Trooper Todd Pitts of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

The driver began driving west in the median while still on the eastbound side of I-24. The car got stuck in the median, the report said.
Wilsdorf was deployed to Afghanistan and received a Purple Heart. Caddell said he was a Christian who had re-dedicated his life to Christ about three months ago.
