ATLANTA, Ga. – Authorities have confirmed that a pedestrian killed in Marietta was 63-year-old Michael Kinyon. Tragically, Mr. Kinyon was struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross Powder Springs Road early Friday morning. Reports indicate that he was crossing the street “outside of a marked crosswalk” when the accident occurred around 7 a.m.
According to the Marietta Police Department, the driver involved in the incident stopped immediately and is currently cooperating with the ongoing investigation. As the authorities continue to piece together the details surrounding this incident, they urge anyone with information to reach out to Officer C. Henry at 770-794-5266.
The loss of Mr. Kinyon highlights the dangers pedestrians face on roadways, especially when they are not within designated crosswalks. Our community must recognize the importance of pedestrian safety and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent such tragedies.
In cases like this, the implications extend beyond the immediate impact of the accident; they can also lead to complex legal issues for the victim’s family.
