Oscar Sanchez remains in critical condition at a local hospital.
Marietta police have arrested a man accused of a hit-and-run that left a pedestrian fighting for his life. The incident happened on Delk Road near the Interstate 75 overpass just after 11:30 p.m. Sunday.
According to reports, Miguel Bacilio-Marquez was driving a white Ford F-150 when he allegedly struck Oscar Sanchez as he walked along the road that night. Instead of stopping, Bacilio-Marquez is accused of driving off, leaving Sanchez in the street.
Thankfully, good Samaritans pulled over and helped Sanchez, who remains at a local hospital in critical condition.
Bacilio-Marquez has been charged with felony hit-and-run, felony serious injury by vehicle and misdemeanor failure to maintain lane and driving on a suspended license.
The stretch of road Sanchez was hit on has no crosswalk and requires them to walk on the shoulder to get over Interstate 75. Further up the road there is a sidewalk but it ends before the overpass where Sanchez was reportedly struck.
