Pedestrian killed on I-85
Authorities are investigating a fatal crash on I-85 near the Cheshire Bridge Road exit. It happened early Sunday morning. According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office, the accident was not a hit and run. They say a man was struck by a female driver who then proceeded to stop.
A witness says he was driving on the interstate when he saw the man's body in the road and swerved to miss it. He immediately called 911. He says the man appeared to have been struck by several vehicles.
Atlanta Police and Georgia State Troopers were on the scene for several hours. They shut down that portion of the interstate and diverted traffic while they investigated the crash and cleared the wreckage.
At this point, authorities have not released the name of the victim, pending notification of his family.
