ATLANTA — A homeless man, who for years greeted motorists near the Downtown Connector, was killed after an accused drunk driver ran over him as he slept in his tent. "Freeway" Johnny Johnson Jr. would stand with a sign and wave and salute people stuck in traffic near Interstate 20 eastbound. Channel 2’s Tom Jones talked to people who say Freeway Johnny made being stuck in traffic a little bit easier. “He gave to the commuters of Atlanta more than any of us could give to him,” said driver Tim McDavid. Early Saturday morning, Atlanta police said 25-year-old Joshua Reese left the ramp and slammed into Johnson's tent as he slept under a bridge. Police say Reese was drunk. www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/drivers-honor-freeway-johnny-after-death-near-down/ng2dH/?ref=cbTopWidget

it's against the law for people to trespass on interstate hwys, but I guess nobody had the stones to enforce the law. I blame mayor Kasim Reed
