Man Struck, Killed At Dobbins Air Force Base

MARIETTA, GA -- A man was struck and killed by two different pickup trucks Tuesday morning in front of Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta. Police said Donnivan Frye, 29, of Marietta, was walking in the center turn lane of Cobb Parkway South outside of a designated crosswalk when he was initially struck by Ben Garland, 23, of Acworth, Georgia, who was traveling northbound on Cobb Parkway in his 2007 Ford F-150 when he entered the center turn lane preparing to make a left turn into the main gate at Dobbins Air Force Base. Garland was unable to avoid Frye and his vehicle collided with him in the center turn lane of Cobb Parkway South.

Frye was thrown into the southbound lanes of Cobb Parkway and struck a second time by a Dodge pickup that was traveling southbound on Cobb Parkway in the left lane. The driver of the Dodge pickup was identified as 24-year-old Kory Cooper of Palmetto, Georgia.

Frye was taken to Kennestone Hospital where he died from his injuries. Police said both drivers remained on scene and are fully cooperating with investigators; they were both uninjured.
