A Peachtree

City man who was reported missing last week was killed on Interstate 20

near Augusta the following evening when he was struck by a vehicle after

leaving his vehicle on foot, according to police.

Donald Dwyer,

81, had left his Honda Odyssey on the side of the road at approximately

10 p.m. before he was struck by another vehicle traveling on I-20, according

to information provided to the Peachtree City Police Department, said

Maj. Mike DuPree.

Dwyer's family

had reported him missing Dec. 3 and after police issued an alert for him

and his vehicle, a missing person's report was issued, DuPree said. Police

also provided information and a photo of Dwyer to Atlanta television stations

in the hopes someone in the area might have had information on his whereabouts,

DuPree added.

Dwyer had recently

moved to Peachtree City from Florida, DuPree said.
