A woman riding in a car got out of the vehicle after it crashed, then was fatally struck by another car Sunday night on the Downtown Connector, authorities said.
Atlanta police responded about 11:10 p.m. and found the passenger dead in a travel lane near the Brookwood split. The driver of the vehicle that struck the woman stayed at the scene to speak with investigators, a police spokesperson said.
According to traffic investigators, she and an unnamed driver were involved in a single-vehicle accident on the ramp from I-75 to I-85 North. They both got out of their car and climbed over a dividing wall, stepping into traffic on I-75.
“At that time, the driver and passenger (now pedestrians) were both struck by a vehicle traveling along I-75 northbound,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “One pedestrian was transported to the hospital in stable condition.”
The passenger was identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office as 27-year-old Devyn Norman. Police said Wednesday there are no charges pending against the driver of the second vehicle.
