A 30-year-old pedestrian was killed when he was hit by a chartered bus that was carrying the University of West Georgia baseball team, officials said.
Preston James Henry, 30, of Carrollton, was pronounced dead on the scene Wednesday night on Ga. 61, the Georgia State Patrol said.
Henry was westbound and crossed the northbound lanes of the road. As he crossed the southbound lanes, he walked into the path of the bus, which hit him.
No one on the bus was injured, university spokesman Gary Leftwich said. The team was returning to its Carrollton campus from a game in Dahlonega against the University of North Georgia.
