Survivors of two pedestrians killed in separate collisions on Athens roadways recently filed wrongful death lawsuits in Clarke County Superior Court.
Although the motorists who struck the victims were not cited by police, the lawsuits claim that they were negligent.
The first person to be killed was Roger Griffith, 73, of Indiana Avenue.
Athens-Clarke County police said he was struck by a car as he crossed Lexington Road in an electric wheelchair the night of April 8, 2013.
He was killed instantly, according to police.
