A single-vehicle crash on the Alabama Highway in Floyd County near the Georgia state line early Monday morning resulted in one fatality. According to the Georgia State Patrol (GSP), the incident occurred around 2:35 a.m. and is currently under investigation. The GSP reports that a Cherokee County, Alabama Sheriff’s Deputy was pursuing a Chevrolet Camaro on Alabama State Route 20, which crossed into Floyd County, Georgia. The deputy reportedly lost sight of the vehicle and, after turning around to head back towards the Alabama line, discovered the Camaro crashed and on fire. Preliminary investigation revealed the Camaro was traveling east when it failed to navigate a curve to the right and exited the roadway to the left. The vehicle subsequently struck a ditch and continued along it before hitting a culvert. The impact with the culvert caused the Camaro to vault over a driveway, striking several fence posts. The force of the collision with the fence posts caused the Camaro to overturn multiple times, ejecting the driver towards the ditch. The vehicle came to rest facing west and became fully engulfed in flames. The driver succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Authorities have not yet released the driver’s identity pending notification of next of kin. The GSP emphasized that there was no contact between the patrol car and the Camaro during the pursuit. The GSP’s Specialized Crash Reconstruction Team was notified and responded to the crash scene to conduct a thorough investigation. The investigation is ongoing.
