Savannah-Chatham police are seeking witnesses who may have been in the area where a pedestrian was struck and killed on Johnny Mercer Boulevard early Thanksgiving morning.
Jonathan Edwards, 35, who lived on Wilmington Island, died after he was struck just east of the Spencer Grayson Bridge over Turner’s Creek just after midnight, said Julian Miller, police spokesman. Police believe he was walking west toward the bridge when he was struck. He was wearing a black leather jacket, blue jeans and light tan work boots at the time, Miller said.
Savannah-Chatham police identified 25-year-old Jessica Krebs, of a Shamrock Circle address, as the driver of the vehicle who did not stop.
The woman has been charged with, first degree vehicular homicide, driving under the influence, and hit and run with fatal injuries.
Miller asked anyone who may have seen Edwards walking in the area around the time of the incident to call police at 912-525-2421.
