All anyone knows is that a black sedan was traveling southbound on Buford Highway near English Oak Drive about 11:20 p.m. when the woman “walked into the roadway and was struck by the vehicle,” the GSP said in a statement.
The sedan kept going. The woman, who was wearing dark clothes, “was not located until approximately 5:10 a.m.,” officials said.
The hit-and-run, which caused temporary southbound delays on Buford Highway just south of Button Gwinnett Drive, remains under investigation.
