When officers arrived shortly before 9 p.m., they found Mathews lying in the grass, just off the shoulder of the road, Pierce said. He was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The van’s driver was identified as Scott A. Turner, 48, of Douglasville, Pierce said. Neither he nor his passenger was injured.
