Cobb Police said Wednesday that a female motorist has died in a two-car crash on Lower Roswell Road.
Officer Aaron Wilson said that Brenda Joya, 23, of Hiram, was pronounced dead after being rushed to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital after her vehicle and another collided early Wednesday morning.
Kaitlin Ricketts, 45, of Marietta, the driver of the other vehicle, “sustained a complaint of injury” according to Wilson, but he didn’t elaborate.
Wilson said that Joya was driving east on Lower Roswell Road near Shadowlawn Drive shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday when her black 2023 Honda Accord “for reasons still under investigation” veered into the westbound lane and collided head-on with a gray 2024 Lexus RX350 driven by Ricketts.
Police haven’t released more details, except to say that next of kin has been notified, and that anyone with information about the crash should call the Cobb County Police Department’s S.T.E.P. Unit at 770-499-3987.
