$10K reward in deadly hit and run
The Atlanta City Council has now offered a $10,000 reward for any information on the person who struck and killed a woman along Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway last year.
ATLANTA - Atlanta officials are hoping a new $10,000 reward will help find a hit-and-run driver who killed a woman over a year ago.
On Sept. 19, 2022, a driver hit Brittany Glover on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway near the intersection of Finley Avenue. The 33-year-old woman died from her injuries.
After the deadly crash, the driver fled. They remain still at large.
"She loved her family, she loved her friends," Glover's mother Valerie Handy-Carey said at a memorial six months after the woman's death. "She showed up for them and I want the community to show up for her."
Family of Atlanta hit-and-run victim demands change, driver still at-large
The family of a woman hit and killed on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway rallied Sunday to demand change. Exactly six months ago, a driver hit Brittany Glover on what is regarded as one of Atlanta's deadliest roadways and then drove away.
With no suspect identified, Atlanta City Councilmember Keisha Waites has put up $3,000 of her own money and collected $7,000 from eight other members of the City Council to offer a reward to whoever can help catch the killer.
"I feel this is a necessary step to get justice for the family of Brittany Glover. I am confident that this $10,000.00 incentive will lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for this senseless act," Waites said in a statement.

At least 13 people have died on the parkway since 2017, half of whom were pedestrians, according to the pedestrian and bicyclist advocacy group Propel ATL.
