A 60-year-old man is dead after he hit by a vehicle at Macon Road and Greenbrook Parkway late Saturday night.

Witnesses then said the man waked into traffic and just stood there.

He was then hit by a vehicle traveling on Macon Road, according to the police report.

The victim was taken to Baptist East Hospital in extremely critical condition, where he later died.
