Pedestrian Hit And Run
The Marietta Police Department’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (S.T.E.P.) Unit is currently investigating a hit and run pedestrian crash that occurred on Wright Street near Trammell Street Saturday evening. Investigators cannot be certain when the crash occurred, but neighbors found the victim and called 911 around 11:05 PM.
The initial on-scene investigation revealed that the pedestrian, fifty-three-year-old Robert Morrison of Marietta, was standing in front of his home located on Wright Street when he was struck by an unknown vehicle. The driver of the suspect vehicle fled the scene without attempting to render aid or notify police. Mr. Morrison sustained serious injuries and was transported to WellStar Kennestone Hospital for treatment. Investigators recovered evidence at the scene pointing to the suspect vehicle being dark gray in color and possibly a Honda product.
