Bonaire woman hit and killed by big rig on I-75 Tuesday morning in south Bibb County
A Houston County woman was killed Tuesday morning when she was struck by a tractor-trailer truck on Interstate 75 in south Bibb County.
Coroner Leon Jones said the incident happened shortly after 11 a.m. in the freeway’s southbound lanes, about half a mile north of the Hartley Bridge Road interchange.
Sheriff’s officials said the victim, identified by the coroner as Felicia Couch, 46, of Bonaire, had been seen walking north along the shoulder of the interstate before she was hit.
Jones said the trucker whose rig struck Couch told him that Couch had “smiled at him and walked out” into traffic.
