East Point mayor candidate hit by car while campaigning
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
East Point mayoral candidate Delana Morrissette was hit Sunday by a car while campaigning, police said.
Around 6:30 p.m., Morrissette was putting flyers on mailboxes when she was clipped by the side mirror of a passing car in the 1300 block of Georgia Avenue.
"As I was turning to go to another mailbox, the car apparently didn't see me and hit me," Morrissette said Monday night.
She said the car hit her left side, leaving her sore and bruised. Police reports say the driver of the car was not at fault.
Morrissette was hospitalized, then released Sunday.
She is one of three candidates, including Earnestine Pittman and former city councilman Threet Brown will challenge incumbent, Mayor Joe Macon in Tuesday's election.
