Pedestrian killed in apparent hit-and-run on Downtown Connector

A pedestrian was killed early Friday morning after apparently being involved in a hit-and-run crash in the southbound lanes on the Downtown Connector, Atlanta police said.

Officers arrived at about 5:10 a.m. and located the woman, who was unresponsive. She had not yet been identified Friday, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office.

“The suspect vehicle did not remain on scene,” police said.

A HERO unit closed two lanes of traffic at the Edgewood exit on-ramp while police began the investigation, which is still ongoing.
