Man struck and killed while walking dog
A man died after being hit by a car while walking his dog in Buckhead, police say.
ATLANTA - Atlanta Police call it a terrible accident. A Buckhead man dies after hit by a car while out for a late-night walk with his dog.
Around 11 p.m. Tuesday, the victim was hit by a Honda Civic at the intersection of Colonial Holmes Drive and North Colonial Homes Circle. Police say the 51-year-old ended up pinned under the car and then was dragged until the vehicle ran into an apartment building. He died at the scene.
The dog wasn't hurt. In fact, it made its way back to the victim's nearby home.
Witnesses told police they saw the car driving erratically just before the accident, during which it reportedly hit a couple of parked vehicles in the neighborhood.
