In a plea for assistance, an Atlanta hospital is reaching out to the public in hopes of identifying an individual who was tragically struck by a tractor trailer on an interstate last month. The incident occurred in the early hours of June 10th, precisely at 3:34 a.m., on the intersection of the westbound ramp of Interstate 20 and southbound Interstate 285.

According to reliable sources, including WSB TV 5, the man had been walking along the highway when the enormous tractor trailer collided with him. Remarkably, the truck driver responsibly remained at the scene, fully cooperating with authorities. However, due to the severity of his injuries, the victim has been unable to communicate with hospital officials, leaving his identity shrouded in uncertainty even nearly a month later.
Descriptive details have been provided to aid in the identification process. The pedestrian stands approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs around 194 pounds. Notably, he bears a tattoo on his left arm that reads "Libra," offering a potential clue to his identity. Regrettably, another tattoo on his upper right arm has become illegible due to the injuries he sustained during the accident.
It is important to note that the truck driver involved in this devastating incident is not currently facing any charges related to the accident. Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the collision and ascertain any contributing factors.
The hospital, recognizing the significance of public involvement, is earnestly appealing to anyone who may possess information regarding the patient's identity to come forward. If you have any knowledge or leads, kindly reach out to the Grady Social Services Department at 404-616-5331. Your assistance may hold the key to resolving this perplexing situation and providing much-needed closure for the victim and their loved ones.
Let us join hands in spreading awareness and helping the hospital in their quest to identify and support this unfortunate individual. Together, we can make a difference.
