THOMAS COUNTY, Ga. — The Georgia Department of Public Safety (GDPS) released more details Wednesday in regards to a fatal hit-and-run incident that took place in Thomasville.

According to GDPS, Georgia State Patrol's Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team (SCRT) is actively searching for two vehicles that hit 49-year-old Marvin Graham on Saturday in Thomasville, leaving him dead.

GDPS says around 9:30 p.m. on June 24, Thomas County 911 received a call about a pedestrian lying in the roadway, causing troopers from Post 12, Thomasville and SCRT to respond.
