Police in Cobb County need help searching for a driver who they believe hit and killed a man along a quiet street near Smyrna early Saturday morning.
The incident happened around 4:30 a.m. on Pat Mell Road just west of Benson Avenue. The area is between Atlanta Road and South Cobb Drive.
Investigators believe the man was walking westbound outside of a marked crosswalk when he was struck by a vehicle traveling in the same direction.
“The unknown vehicle collided with the pedestrian and projected him in a westerly direction,” officials said.
The driver kept going instead of stopping to call for help, police added.
The victim’s name has not been released.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Cobb police at 770-499-3987.
