Man Run Over In Publix Parking Lot

An older man was severely injured when he was struck and run over by a minivan in the Publix parking lot on Turner McCall Boulevard on Monday afternoon.

Rome Police Department officers are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident which involved a dark colored Honda Odyssey minivan. The minivan appeared to have struck the man near the main entrance to the store.

“All we can confirm at this time is that a gentleman shopper was leaving Publix and was struck by a small van, outside of a cross walk,” RPD Public Information Officer Kelly Madden said.

The man sustained significant injuries to both of his legs and was still being treated at Atrium Health Floyd Monday evening.
