A 32-year-old Acworth man remains in Fulton County Jail on charges stemming from an Aug. 2 crash that killed a pedestrian on I-285 in Sandy Springs.

James Daniel Worsham was charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence, failure to maintain lane and improper/erratic lane change, according to the Sandy Springs Police Department.
