Bibb deputies investigating fatal pedestrian accident involving a log truck

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Bibb County sheriff’s deputies have contacted a family member of the victim in Wednesday night’s fatal pedestrian accident that involved a log truck. 

The sheriff’s office says the accident happened around 7:15 Wednesday night. Authorities say a man was standing in the left lane of Broadway when an empty log truck driven by 44-year-old Jerry Eugene Lollar of Covington hit him.

The victim was identified as 55-year-old Douglas Michael Oliver. Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says he died at the scene.

Jones say Oliver was homeless.
