The southbound lanes of I- 85 in Coweta County near Newnan were closed for nearly an hour when a motorist was struck and killed early Tuesday after his car broke down.
Terrance Harvey, 42, of Forest Park and his brother were driving to work at a construction job in Newnan shortly after 6:30 a.m. when Harvey’s car stalled, authorities said.
Coweta Sheriff’s Lt. John LaChance said because of highway work, there was no emergency lane.
The two men got out of the car to get to safety behind a barrier wall, but Harvey decided to try to start the car one more time.
LaChance said that when Harvey did so, he and his car were struck by another vehicle and he was thrown from the vehicle and struck several times. LaChance said the other driver was a 24-year-old man living in Norcross who faces charges of driving without a valid license.
