COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A man who was hit by a bus in front of a fast food restaurant in Cobb County last Friday has died, authorities confirm.

The accident happened Friday evening on Ernest Barrett Parkway.

Cobb police said 65-year-old Steve Haskins got off at the CobbLinc bus stop by the Burger King near Chastain Meadows Parkway.

After he stepped off the bus, Haskins fell next to the bus onto the sidewalk near a concrete gutter.

The bus driver pulled off to continue the route when the right tire hit Haskins in the leg.

Someone passing by saw the 65-year-old on the sidewalk and called 911. When paramedics arrived two minutes later, Haskins died from his injuries.

No charges will be filed against the bus driver, who was unaware that Haskins was injured.
