ATLANTA — Authorities say a pedestrian who was struck by several vehicles on an interstate access road south of Atlanta has died.

WSB-TV reports that the pedestrian was struck Wednesday night in Clayton County, near the junction of Interstate 75 and I-285. Police say all of the drivers stopped after striking the person, whose name wasn't released.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that it was the second pedestrian fatality along I-75 in Clayton County in less than a week.

Early Saturday, a Missouri man was struck by several vehicles and killed on I-75 near Mount Zion Boulevard. Clayton County police Sgt. Kevin Hughes said investigators didn't know why that man, 22-year-old John Scott Lewis, was on the interstate.
