Description:
The man killed during an apparent hit-and-run in Gert Town early Saturday was David Williams, 49, said coroner's chief investigator John Gagliano on Tuesday.
Williams, a Carrollton man, was found dead about 5 a.m. in the 7700 block of Colapissa Street, lying in the roadway with tire marks across his torso, according to the New Orleans Police Department. It appears a truck may have hit him, according to a preliminary incident log from the NOPD.
A garbage truck driver working on the block spotted him and called authorities.
