A tragic hit-and-run incident on Camp Creek Parkway has claimed the life of an unidentified woman, according to South Fulton Police Department. The fatal encounter unfolded late Monday night just south of Old Fairburn Road, with officers learning of the situation after South Fulton Fire Engine #15 stumbled upon an unresponsive adult female in the roadway; she ultimately succumbed to her injuries sustained from being struck by a vehicle, a distressing turn of events that has left authorities chasing shadows as the accountable party vanished into the night, South Fulton police told WSB-TV.
While the grim discovery was made by fire personnel, the South Fulton Police spearheaded the investigation, not yet able to offer a description of the vehicle nor its operator, as per FOX 5 Atlanta's reporting the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office and Fulton County Chaplain responded to the scene but the driver, who remains unidentified, had fled leaving few clues behind as authorities appeal to the public for information that might light a path to justice in this matter.
Officials have remained tight-lipped on the identity of the victim, an adherence to protocols until relatives can be notified, a protocol that honors respect within the cold mechanics of the aftermath.
The South Fulton Police Department, steadfast in their pursuit, continues to extend an open call for witnesses who might have seen anything the night of the hit-and-run, calling any detail however insignificant they may seem instrumental, as they piece together the tragedy, the department reassured updates would be made available as the story unfolds, as shared by both WSB-TV and FOX 5 Atlanta.
Anyone holding information pertinent to this case is urged to step forward and make contact with the South Fulton Police Department, a gesture that could offer some semblance of closure to those mourning in the shadow cast by this event.
