A second Chattanooga pedestrian struck by a vehicle this weekend has died, two days after he was hit.
Robbie Wimpy, 55, was struck by a white Chevrolet Colorado truck while standing in the middle of the two-way turn lane at 5321 Brainerd Road around 7 p.m. Saturday. Police said he was taken to the hospital the same day and died Monday.
The Chattanooga Police Department said in a press release that the truck left the scene and the incident is still under investigation.
Around a half-hour earlier, police responded to another report of a pedestrian struck at 3710 Rossville Blvd., according to a press release. Joe Carter died after he was traveling in a wheelchair in the roadway when he was first hit by a green Chevrolet Suburban and struck again by a silver SUV.
