Lee County walker struck by tow truck, pedestrian accidents frequent

Four Georgians have been struck and killed by motorists as they crossed streets just this week. And, Tuesday night, a Lee County man was hit by a truck as he crossed U.S. 19 at Century Road. The intersection is the scene of construction as the D.O.T works to make the area safer for drivers, walkers and bikers in the area. Albany Trooper and Post Commander Sgt. Shawn Urquhart says, "That intersection, Century and 19, is not a good place for pedestrians and we have worked a lot of fatalities with pedestrians crossing the road." On Tuesday, a 35-year-old Lee County man was walking to the Citgo gas station.
