Accident victim Lutawn Bally

Min­utes af­ter vis­it­ing his daugh­ter at her War­renville home, a Fe­lic­i­ty fa­ther was knocked down while cross­ing the Uri­ah But­ler High­way.

Po­lice said Lutawn Bal­ly’s body was dragged by pass­ing ve­hi­cles.

Of­fi­cers said Bal­ly, 50, who lived with his moth­er at Char­ran Street, Fe­lic­i­ty, was vis­it­ing his 12-year-old daugh­ter at the War­renville home she shared with her moth­er, his es­tranged wife.

Bal­ly had dropped off a meal for the child and spent time with her.

How­ev­er, af­ter he left he crossed the high­way to make his way back home.

But while at­tempt­ing to cross the north­bound lane around 9 pm in the vicin­i­ty of Marchin Road, Bal­ly was struck by an on­com­ing ve­hi­cle.

Po­lice be­lieve the im­pact was fa­tal and Bal­ly was not alive when oth­er ve­hi­cles drove over him drag­ging his body sev­er­al feet away.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia, Bal­ly’s es­tranged wife, Vanes­sa said their daugh­ter was tak­ing her fa­ther’s death, hard.

“Every evening he would come and look for his daugh­ter and last evening was no dif­fer­ent, but she is re­al tak­ing his death hard. She is blam­ing her­self,” Vanes­sa said.

Vanes­sa said she would like as­sis­tance in prepar­ing for the fu­ner­al as she does not have the fi­nan­cial means to do so at the mo­ment.

Any­one will­ing to as­sist can con­tact Vanes­sa at 746-1382.

Au­thor­i­ties are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the cir­cum­stances of the ac­ci­dent.
