According to police, the investigation revealed that the driver of a gray 2020 Honda CR-V was traveling northbound on Georgia Avenue when he struck an adult male who was in the roadway near Flora Lane. The driver of the Honda remained at the scene. Initially, there were reports that a second vehicle may have hit the pedestrian. This was proven unfounded. Officers located Scriven, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
