MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - Marietta police say a 50-year-old pedestrian died after being struck by a van while crossing Cobb Parkway.

Police spokesman Jared Rakestraw said in a news release the crash occurred just before 8:10 p.m. Sunday when 66-year-old Kimani Kamau, of Marietta, was traveling southbound on Cobb Parkway.

Rakestraw says Kelly Willis began crossing the parkway eastbound outside of a designated crosswalk, entered Kamau’s lane of travel and was struck by his vehicle.



He says Willis died at the scene of the crash.
