An 85-year-old driver was booked into Cobb County jail Wednesday after being accused of striking and killing a man pushing a broken-down car more than a week ago.
Bruce Meacham of Marietta turned himself in to police, according to Channel 2 Action News, about 2 p.m. on a charge of second-degree homicide.
He quickly paid his $4,070 bond and was released from jail.
A second-degree vehicular homicide charge is defined by Georgia code as being an unintentional death.
Meacham was driving a blue 2007 Mazda 3 north in the left lane of Johnson Ferry Road just before 9 p.m. May 1 when he struck two men pushing the broken-down black car, police said.
