A pedestrian accident claimed the life of a man Tuesday morning, May 7, 2019. According to AJC.com, “[a] man walking in a right lane was struck just before 6 a.m. by a Nissan Versa as the car was merging onto the interstate from the Ga. 61 entrance ramp…[t]he impact catapulted the pedestrian into the center lane.”  According to the report, a Georgia State Patrol spokesperson said “it is very likely that the pedestrian was struck by a number of unknown vehicles traveling westbound as well…[h]owever, no other vehicles stopped or returned to the scene.”

The interstate was closed while troopers investigated, no word on any charges being filed according to the media report.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, the victim’s family may elect to file civil claims for their loss.  Based upon its experience and success handling pedestrian accident cases, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victim’s family should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the vehicles and roadways involved and a review of traffic surveillance footage will need to be performed immediately before any evidence is damaged or destroyed.

According to WSBtv.com, “[t]he fatal crash happened Friday morning around 9 when Vincent left his home on Campbellton Road in southwest Atlanta and walked to a nearby store with his cousin.”  Kimonte Vincent’s cousin was next to Kimonte when the accident happened and in an interview with WSBtv.com, the cousin said “I was shocked. My first thing was to stop all cars that was coming making sure no one ran over him. The only person who didn’t pull over to the side was the driver that initially did the hitting, he kept going,”  A witness who spoke with WSBtv.com said “he chased the driver down Campbellton Road about a mile, he pulled up to him, let him know he saw the crash and took down his license plate…[h]e said that’s when the driver returned to the scene.”

Police have not made any charges as of yet according to the media report.
