The crash happened just before midnight on Holcomb Bridge Road near Crooked Creek Road near Peachtree Corners. Johnson, 28, of Smyrna, was crossing the road outside a crosswalk when she was hit by a southbound vehicle. The driver left the scene without helping the woman or calling 911, police said.
Johnson was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Her status was not known Tuesday.
Myler has been released from the county jail on bond, Rundles said.
