Cobb Police said a pedestrian died after he was hit by a car Wednesday night on Powers Ferry Road.
Harold Glaspy, age 69, of Marietta, was pronounced dead after being taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, Cobb Police Officer Sydney Melton said in a release.
Police said a grey 2010 Mazda 6 was driving north on Powers Ferry around 9:15 p.m. Wednesday when it reached the intersection of Wood Hollow Drive. The left front side of the car then collided with the pedestrian, and the driver immediately stopped and sought help from other motorists, Melton said.
She said the driver of the Mazda is Ernest Moore, 50, of Marietta, and added that “per investigators, there is no evidence of impaired driving, distracted driving, or speeding. The roadway is not lit at the scene of the collision.”
Melton said Glaspy’s next of kin has been notified and that the investigation is continuing.
