Dalton police are investigating a fatal pedestrian crash that killed a Chatsworth, Ga., man Thursday.
The victim, 63-year-old Jerry Jones had apparently run out of gas and was attempting to cross the highway around 8:20 p.m. when he was hit by a car on the North Dalton Bypass, according to a news release from the Dalton Police Department. Jones' van was parked on the righthand shoulder of the road. He was apparently crossing the highway northbound toward a gas station when he was hit by a Ford Focus driven by 37-year old Kimberly Young in the lefthand eastbound lane.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation is continuing and Dalton police are still working to collect more evidence.
Initial results of the investigation indicate that Young did not have a chance to avoid the crash. At this time, no charges have been filed.
