If he just stopped, call the police and ambulance this could have been just an accident.

[eprofessio]

This is why Amazon uses contractors for almost all deliveries so they can deflect liability.

[walkerenterprise]

Crazy she left a cemetery just to get killed.

[LucyMorningstar]

Hit someone, leaves the scene and leaves her dying like an animal at the side of the road, and moved along with his day continuing delivering his packages. What a psychopath. Does he not have a grandmother, mother, aunt or sister??? Cold blooded and vile. Like I always say, many of the people in ATL are feral, from the way they drive, to the way they interact with other human beings.

This is exactly the type of driver Amazon wants but will never admit publicly.

[mikelavelle]

No one has made a comment about a noiseless electric vehicle coming up behind you when you are walking...

[catbangs]

On the amazon's driver's dashboard scorecard, you're dinged for late and incomplete deliveries but not for killing pedestrians.

[winston_smith]

the endless tragedy strikes again.

race omitted, motive 'unclear'.

[Irishmansam]

Amazon contractors rush there employees to get all these packages done. Not safe at all. Worse job I’ve ever had in my life driving for Amazon in Portland Oregon

[kimb]

Did he even know he hit someone or did he think he just hit a bump? I doubt if he knew he hit her that he would've continued to deliver packages?? I think this was just a tragic accident and certainly not purposeful. Who is responsible for lighting and walkways in that area? Was she walking with or against traffic? Was she walking in the street or on a walkway? Was she walking in the road? Was she wearing dark clothing? There are too many variables to just blame this guy.

Truly heartbreaking 💔 I'm so sorry for the loss of your loved one 🙏

This reminds me of Alyssa Shepherd, who hit 4 kids at a bus stop and killed 3 of them. She claimed she didn't know the school bus lights meant for her to stop. She did less than 2 years in jail.

Through rain, sleet, snow, or hit and run will not stop your Amazon delivery

[amzarnacht]

He's not an Amazon employee, he's a warm body to occupy a truck owned by third party contractors so amazon doesn't have to extend benefits to their delivery drivers.
And if he's off by a few seconds they come down on him like a box of rocks.

[katjay]

She was she walking in the dark on a non pedestrian road??

[goofygirl]

How awful, that poor woman. It was dark when this happened and the victim had been attempting to cross a busy road. I'm wondering if the driver possibly thought that he had hit a deer or maybe one of those construction cones and didn't realize that he had hit a person.

[integrityborn]

The real question is did he even see her or know he hit her? I have to know the details before I go around judging people and being brainwashed like the average citizen. He probably rushed back bc dispatch would have told him he’s running behind!

[SouthTexasEnforcer]

As long as he kept his mouth shut gets a lawyer he can win the case defense he didn't know he hit anyone

[brianmoudry]

this man takes his job seriously.. packages must be delivered.

Amazon is like Uber. They can legally distance themselves from the action's of their Contractors
