DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - Police are investigating a hit-and-run crash that killed one man and critically injured another man as they helped change a tire on a metro Atlanta freeway.
DeKalb County police say two women had called the men to help them change the tire when the men were struck by a pickup. It happened around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday on westbound Interstate 20, near Panola Road.
Police said a pickup truck they said was not maintaining its lane struck the men and kept driving. A second car followed the truck until the driver was pulled over.
Authorities tell WSB-TV (https://bit.ly/1kWr4ME) that one of the men was hospitalized in critical condition and the other one died.
The crash snarled traffic during the early part of the Wednesday morning rush hour.
