Cobb Police said a fatal crash on Shallowford Road last Wednesday was caused when a car heading westbound veered into an eastbound lane and hit another vehicle.
In a release issued Tuesday morning, Cobb Police said Andrew Halloran, 47, of Roswell was pronounced dead at the scene.
The accident took place at the Lassiter Road intersection at 11:49 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 25, according to the release. Police said Halloran was driving a beige 2008 Kia Optima that was traveling in an eastbound lane.
Police investigators said a white 2014 Chevrolet Cruze was traveling west on Shallowford Road and approaching the intersection when the driver crossed into the eastbound lanes.
The Cruze struck the Kia, which was pushed in a southbound direction, and then the Kia collided with a black 2017 GMC Yukon that also was heading east, according to police.
Police said that neither Danielle Erickson, 24, of Acworth, driver of the Cruze, nor Jennifer Mire, 45, of Marietta, driver of the Yukon, required medical attention at the scene.
An online fundraiser for Halloran’s family has raised more than $32,000. He was active with the Lassiter High School Bands booster club.
The crash remains under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call Cobb Police at 770-499-3987.
