A pedestrian was killed after a pickup truck struck him while crossing a crosswalk in Lumpkin County Friday night. 

The Georgia State Patrol reported the accident occurred just after 6 p.m. at the intersection of Ga. 9 and Ga. 60 in Dahlonega.  An initial investigation revealed that a 1999 Ford pickup truck was traveling southbound on Ga. 9 when the pedestrian, Angel Gabriel Rocha, 24 of Dahlonega, crossed into the truck’s path. 

While the pedestrian was crossing at a crosswalk, GSP said the walk had a ‘do not cross’ signal and that Rocha was wearing dark clothing at the time of the accident. 

No other details have been released as of the last report.
