Atlanta police are seeking a woman who they say struck with her Ford Explorer and killed a pedestrian the evening of April 16.
Using video surveillance footage from the Foxy Lady Lounge, a police sketch artist created an image of the SUV and driver.
Witnesses told police a man stumbled backward into the roadway at 1575 Moreland Avenue as the SUV driver headed south in the right lane. The driver is described as a 20 to 30-year-old woman with dreadlocks. She has a medium to dark complexion, police said.
She did get out of her late-’90s model Ford Explorer after the accident, but left the scene because she said she needed to get her kids home. She never returned.
“The driver attempted to avoid striking the pedestrian and swerved to the left hitting another vehicle, but still struck and killed the pedestrian,” Kim Jones, a spokeswoman with Atlanta police, said.
The pedestrian, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
Please contact Crimes Stoppers if you have any information on this incident. I-800-877-TIPS.
