I think the average speed along this stretch of North Decatur is around 50 mph.
From the AJC…
The eastbound car hit the woman, then turned around and drove west back down North Decatur, Gagnon said. The incident occurred near Landover Drive, in unincorporated DeKalb near Decatur.
The woman was pronounced dead on the scene, police said, and has not been identified, pending notification of her next of kin.
…There are no cross walks in the area, and Gagnon said the area was dark.
Fox5 has the story of hit-and-run victim Sarah Halperin, who was left unconscious near the intersection of North Decatur/Clairmont early Wednesday morning after being hit by a car turning left onto North Decatur from Clairmont.
Training for a marathon, 23 year-old Halperin didn’t have any ID on her at the time, so a nurse at Atlanta Medical Center had to use Halperin’s iPod serial number to get a name from Apple.
According to the Fox5 report, Halperin is still in critical condition.
