In addition to the roads being wet, police said the vehicle apparently was exceeding the posted 40 mph speed limit.
Anyone with information about the accident should call Cobb Police at 770-499-3987.
my brother lost control of his car in the same place 10 years ago, but he went down the hill and stopped on a tree a few feet from the chattahoochee river. that turn is nasty at night and in the rain…..maybe a guard rail would be good.
I know the family, so sad. My heart breaks for my friend that just lost her son. Absolutely devastating 😰
The driver might have encountered deer. They are very common in that spot.
Rest In Peace.
