Not the first time this has happened either, here’s another similar case in Atlanta: https://abcnews.go.com/US/mother-boy-killed-hit-run-driver-probation-community/story?id=14158040
I live a few miles from where this occurred. The sidewalk is right on the road (only on one side) it’s 4 lanes with no crossing other than the light at the grocery store. You cross at the light, you have no sidewalk, you don’t cross at the light you have to cross without a crosswalk. It’s 4 lanes split by a row of trees, very low visibility, and every one speeds over the 45 mph posted speed limit. I wouldn’t let my 13 cross that road and walk down it, much less at 6pm, one of the busiest times.
For context, this is where it occurred: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9GjCYGBAm5BBm8k59
Such a speed limit on a road through a residential neighborhood in insane :O
