A 62-year-old man wrapped in a blanket was killed Friday morning after being run over outside a Buckhead Whole Foods store, authorities said.

Roland Campbell was found with “facial injuries” when police arrived at the Northside Buckhead location on Northside Parkway about 9:15 a.m., Atlanta police spokesman Officer Anthony Grant said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Preliminary investigation indicates a vehicle appeared to have run over the male as he lay in the roadway obstructed by a blanket,” Grant said.

No charges are expected against the driver who struck the man, but the case remains under investigation.
