The Richmond County Coroner’s Office is currently investigating a tragic pedestrian fatality that occurred Wednesday on the 3500 Block of Windsor Spring Road.
According to Coroner Mark Bowen, 22-year-old Dominique A. Abraham, a resident of Augusta, was crossing Windsor Spring Road when she was struck by a southbound vehicle. Despite immediate medical attention, Abraham was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.
In light of this incident, an autopsy has been scheduled to determine the exact cause of death.
Authorities have not released details on the driver who struck her or potential charges.
The death comes less than a week after another pedestrian death. Tony Maurice Walker, 38, was trying to cross Deans Bridge Road just after midnight April 19 when he was struck by a vehicle.
At least four pedestrians have died in Richmond County this year, including the April 4 death of Guatemala native Filadelfo Raul Chiquin-Jalal on Gordon Highway and the Feb. 4 death of Augusta resident Eric L. Jenkins on Peach Orchard Road.
Last year, the coroner sent out press releases on 17 pedestrian deaths.
