Georgia State Patrol –

According to a press release from the Georgia State Patrol:

On Friday afternoon, 83-year-old Edgar Fennell of Rockmart was traveling heading south on GA 101 (south of Dean Rd) when he left the west side of the roadway & struck two signs before he re-entered back into the road.

He then left the east side of the road, struck a ditch with the front of the vehicle, which rotated the vehicle in a counter-clockwise manner and caused Mr. Fennell to be ejected out of the back window (where he suffered fatal injuries).

Mr. Fennell’s vehicle entered the northbound lane and struck another vehicle head on: This vehicle suffered minor damage to its front, and its occupants complained only of minor pains, but no serious injuries.
