Man killed by train
is from PTC, police say
MUNFORD
Law enforcement
officials have identified a Peachtree City man as the victim who was struck
and killed by a train in Coweta County early Sunday morning.
Coweta County
Sheriff Mike Yeager said the victim was Donnie Perry Blankenship, 24.
Although his last known address is in Peachtree City, Blankenship had
ties to the Coweta County area also, the sheriff said.
No foul play
is suspected in the incident, and it has been determined that Blankenship
was alive when the train struck him at approximately 12:46 a.m. Sunday,
according to information released by the sheriff's office.
Witnesses said
Blankenship was last seen leaving a party at a home just south of Palmetto
on U.S. Highway 29 north on foot. Witnesses also told deputies that Blankenship
had been drinking before the incident.
