Car accidents took a toll around metro Atlanta early Saturday.
Devon Baxley, 24, of Marietta, was killed on I-285 westbound when a car struck him about 4:30 a.m. Details were sketchy, but Sandy Springs police said Baxley was a passenger in a vehicle. He exited that car, possibly while it was still moving, and was struck by another vehicle near the New Northside Drive exit, Sandy Springs police Sgt. Forrest Bohannon.
“He was in the middle of I-285,” Bohannon said. “There was no way to avoid him.”
The driver of the car that struck Baxley was not charged. The driver of the other vehicle, 30-year-old Sara Anderson of Grayson, was charged with DUI and taken to the Fulton County jail.
A College Park man was also killed after an apparent single-car accident just after midnight at Marietta and Means streets in Atlanta, according to Channel 2 Action News. Witnesses told police that Kayne Burton, 39, may have lost control of his car while driving too fast. He died at Grady Memorial Hospital from his injuries.
