Conyers police are asking for help in identifying a hit-and-run driver who injured a man early Sunday.
A police officer found a seriously injured man on the interstate wall at the bottom of the I-20 entrance ramp from Salem Road about 4 a.m. Sunday when checking on a disabled vehicle, the department said in an emailed release. The man was flown to a local hospital.
