A Canton man was killed in ahead-on collision Friday in Pickens County, a Georgia State Patrol spokesman confirmed Saturday.

Juan Cutierrez-Munoz, 51, was driving a Chevrolet Lumina when it crossed the center line on GA 108 at Old Waleska Highway around 4:30 p.m. and crashed into another vehicle, GSP spokesman Gordy Wright said.

Wright said Cutierrez-Munoz died in the crash and a woman and her daughter in the other vehicle were injured.

The spokesman said the man attempted to pass a vehicle that had stopped in the roadway when he crossed into the eastbound lane and hit the Chevrolet Traverse driven by Donna Westbrook, 49.

Westbrook was airlifted to Atlanta Medical Center with a leg injury, and her 15-year-old daughter was taken to Piedmont Mountainside Hospital in Jasper with minor injuries, he said.
