The southbound lanes of I- 85 in Coweta County near Newnan were closed for nearly an hour when a motorist was struck and killed early Tuesday after his car broke down.

Terrance Harvey, 42, of Forest Park and his brother were driving to work at a construction job in Newnan shortly after 6:30 a.m. when Harvey’s car stalled, authorities said.

Coweta Sheriff’s Lt. John LaChance said because of highway work, there was no emergency lane.

The two men got out of the car to get to safety behind a barrier wall, but Harvey decided to try to start the car one more time.

LaChance said that when Harvey did so, he and his car were struck by another vehicle and he was thrown from the vehicle and struck several times. LaChance said the other driver was a 24-year-old man living in Norcross who faces charges of driving without a valid license.

The coverup exposed in the dying Atlanta newspaper. After reading the article, would you know the man killed was the father of 6. Would you know the driver who killed this father of 6 was an illegal immigrant? You would only know these things if you happened to hear the local radio station at 6:30 this morning tell these secrets after incredibly leading the story with "You wont believe who killed a father of 6 on Interstate 85." WSB Radio, 750 AM broadcast that and then the coverup began. In the next hour of listening, the story never came up again. If you check local Atlanta media websites, you see no mention of the incident at all, outside of being buried in the AJC site under "Cop briefs."

This is a clear and blatant attempt by the hard core left wing Atlanta media to cover up the truth and keep honest Americans from knowing what is happening.

Disgusting. Typical.

[Bulldawg Fan]

Sorry for the double title.

"LaChance said the other driver was a 24-year-old man living in Norcross who faces charges of driving without a valid license."

After reading this, I somehow knew the adverse driver's last name would turn out to be Mendoza-Rodriguez-Ramirez-Tamez or some such thing.

G-d bless his family. G-d please speak to George about the crisis we face regrding our borders.

Officials say Terrance and his brother Avery headed out this morning to their construction job in Newnan when his 1992 Lexus stalled in the southbound slow lane of I-85. A concrete construction barrier kept the brothers from being able to more their car to the emergency lane. Coweta County Sheriff’s Investigators say at least four cars hit Terrance as he got out to check on his vehicle – Avery was able to dive behind one of the construction barriers to safety.

“He left this morning and told me he loved me,” said Ruth Harvey through tears. “I can’t believe this is happening, I really can’t.”

Terrance Harvey leaves behind his wife and their four children. Officials say they do not expect to file any charges.

The man who was killed was in a very dangerous situation. Illegal immigration has nothing to do with this tragedy.

[Duffboy]

" lived in Norcross".....illegal came to mind as well.
Except for the Sunday crosswords I've stopped reading
this liberal rag.

[JEC]

Similar things happen here in Raleigh on a regular basis. Do they get reported as such in the major daily rag or on TV, hell no. Some of the local town papers report something, only they do not tell you specifics about the person committing the crime. They do, believe it or not, give his name. Lots of criminals with the same spanish sounding names.

[Duffboy]

An illegal killed this man. How is it possible to say "illegal" had nothing to do with the accident.

[papasmurf]

I know you're right! I live on the South side. If ever there were a City ripe for a decent newspaper startup, this is it. I can't read it anymore, I get too angry.

:O)

[trumandogz]

The decedent's cars was broke down in the middle of an Interstate Highway. If the car had not been hit by the Illegal it would have been hit by someone else.

[taxesareforever]

The man who was killed was in a very dangerous situation. Illegal immigration has nothing to do with this tragedy.

You mean like if a man stumbled upon a weapons cache of terrorists and a grenade accidentally exploded and killed him, it wouldn't be about terrorists or terrorism. It would be about those nasty ole weapons.

[Nathan Zachary]

These "cover ups" are just regular, PC reporting. Get used to it, because the media will not go out of their way to inflame anger towards any minority, except white Christians.

[L98Fiero]

"24-year-old man living in Norcross who faces charges of driving without a valid license."

I must be a bigot because when I read that I thought, "probably an illegal".

[JEC]

Illegal immigration has nothing to do with this tragedy.

It has everything to do with this guys death. If the man with the spanish sounding name who is here ILLEGALLY, with no license, this poor soul would be home tonight with his wife and children instead of lying in a county morgue.

[L98Fiero]

"Illegal immigration has nothing to do with this tragedy."

"There are no Americans in Baghdad!"

[trumandogz]

I see, only illegal aliens crash into cars that are stalled on the middle of an Interstate Highway.

[LibKill]

Illegal aliens aside, if your car breaks down on some mega-freeway, abandon it.

You can get a new car, a new used car, etc.

Even modern medical science cannot graft a new @ss on your body after some 18-wheeler has reduced your body to a smear on the pavement.

Safety first, folks.

[reagan_fanatic]

After reading the article, would you know the man killed was the father of 6. Would you know the driver who killed this father of 6 was an illegal immigrant?

Disgusting and sad. Prayers for the deceased man's family. How hard this must be on them.

[trumandogz]

Thank You.

[L98Fiero]

Indeed, good post.

[LibKill]

You are welcome.

BTW. I'm against illegal immigration as much as I am for safety. The two are not unreconcillable. :)

[Kirkwood]

"If the car had not been hit by the Illegal it would have been hit by someone else."

Amazing how you could know about something that never happened. The fact is that if the illegal was kept out of the US, he wouldn't have killed this man.

[AppyPappy]

Really, this is just yet another mere coincidence.

[trumandogz]

See Post 18

[Nathan Zachary]

"An illegal killed this man. How is it possible to say "illegal" had nothing to do with the accident."

Because that would raise anger towards anyone who looked like an "illegal" Mexican and possibly cause a LEGAL Mexican to be harrased, or worse. No.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

That's okay, think nothing of it. That's okay, think nothing of it.

[Kirkwood]

It has nothing to do with the idiotic remark you made.

[Revel]

"Would you know the driver who killed this father of 6 was an illegal immigrant?"

Yup...I could tell by the way they worded it that they had something to hide. When they said he was only "Living In".
That was a dead give away. I always expect these things to be covered up.

[trumandogz]

The issue is not illegal immigration but rather the bad luck of a car breaking down in an Interstate highway construction zone and the decedant's poor decision to get back into the car.

[imahawk]

The hell it dont! If you have a valid drivers licence chances are you past a test to get it.They do test ones ability to stop the vehicle in emergency situations.Obviously you are an open borders slipknot.

[Revel]

"Officials say they do not expect to file any charges."

How do you like that. I would say a guy without a license is driving while impaired. He did not pass the test. If it had been a US citizen who had one bear or who taken a cold medicine then they would have already filed man slaughter charges against him.

[Revel]

"The man who was killed was in a very dangerous situation. Illegal immigration has nothing to do with this tragedy."


Compute the chances that the guy is who is going to strike you and kill you is going to be an illegal. That should tell you something or other.

[2dogjoe]

"Illegal immigration has nothing to do with this tragedy."

Ditto.

[Kirkwood]

It is amazing you are blaming an innocent person for their death instead of the reckless actions of an illegal immigrant who was driving illegally.

[Revel]

It tells you what percent of the population is illegal.

[Thermalseeker]

Illegal immigration has nothing to do with this tragedy.

Other than the fact that the person who hit the this guy was an illegal, you would be right. The same could be said for the 14 dead in Tennessee so far this year as a result of illegal alien drivers......ignore the elephant in the room. He won't hurt you......

[Sir Gawain]

It's not like the family would get any money out of the guy.

[FReepapalooza]

I have to admit that was the first thing that crossed my mind also. They drive with no licenses, no insurance, and ignorance of our rules of the road, and half the time, if not more, they are DUI.

[trumandogz]

I am not sure the GA driver's test inoculates one against having fatal accidents.


I am opposed to open borders however, it will be interesting to see if the Bush ICE Department deports this illegal alien.

[Revel]

"It's not like the family would get any money out of the guy."

Right...So they will release him and he will back on the road driving without a license in a few days.

[spectre]

Officials do not expect to file any charges against a man who is in this country ILLEGALLY and was DRIVING without a VALID license?

It's more proof there ARE two sets of laws. One for us and another for them.

No wonder they love it here so much.

[Mr.Unique]

Would you know the driver who killed this father of 6 was an illegal immigrant?

Yes, but what about Dingle-Norwood?

[trumandogz]

It was a poor decision to get back in the car. However, there does not seem to be any intent on the part of the illegal alien. That is why he is not being charged with murder or manslaughter.

Again, I am opposed to open borders and wish that the current administration would stop the tide.

[L98Fiero]

"They drive with no licenses, no insurance, and ignorance of our rules of the road, and half the time, if not more, they are DUI."

When I used to live south of Memphis, one ran over a little girl at a school bus-stop because he tried to pass on the right on a two-lane road. He did not stop after he killed her. He was caught, though, along with the other illegals who were in the van.

[trumandogz]

He is already back on the streets or perhaps in a hospital.

He will not be charged or deported.

[Sir Gawain]

That's going to happen either way.

[Nathan Zachary]

Be mad at law enforcement for sitting on the side of the road giving tickets to those who they know who can pay them, instead of running the country poor running in illegals.

That's where your anger belongs. We wouldn't have these problems if the laws of the land were enforced, from every level of government.

Kicking a rich democrat farmers butt might help a little too

[Mr.Unique]

If it had been a US citizen who had one bear or who taken a cold medicine then they would have already filed man slaughter charges against him.

We'll having even one bear is illegal in most jurisdictions. If you want a bear, go to the zoo.

[freeangel]

The issue IS illegals. Three out of the last five people that I know who have been involved in accidents have been hit by ILLEGALS. But, I guess, according to you, they would have been hit by someone anyway. The fact is, they broke the law by coming, and don't give a crap about any other of our laws.
