Alabama Law Enforcement confirmed Wednesday a 23-year-old has died days after a car hit him on U.S. 72 in eastern Limestone County.

Cameron Wayne Richardson was walking home from a store on U.S. 72 when the driver of a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt struck him around 8pm Friday, 8 miles east of Athens near Newby Road.

The driver of the Cobalt was not injured and remained on the scene. Richardson was air-lifted to Huntsville Hospital for treatment but died Tuesday. Troopers listed Richardson's address as Columbia, Tennessee, but his Facebook account lists him as an Athens resident and West Limestone grad.

No further information is available and the investigation continues.
