An Eatonton man walking on U.S. Hwy. 441 Eatonton Bypass had to be flown by medical helicopter to a trauma center when he was struck by a car, authorities say.
Amos Darrell Mills, 54, of Little River Trail, was walking in the middle of the highway around 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3, according to Eatonton Police Chief Howell Cardwell.
“For some unknown reason, he walks over into the lane of traffic and a Volvo car struck him,” Cardwell said.
The car was being driven by a Macon woman, who was not charged because the pedestrian was at fault, the police chief said.
EPD Officer Chad Burket responded to the call, and a medical helicopter was brought in and flew Mills to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, where he has been ever since.
Cardwell said the police department has not heard any updates on Mills’ condition.
