The crash happened about 4:45 p.m. on an icy Breckinridge Boulevard near Duluth, according to Gwinnett police Cpl. Edwin Ritter.
Ritter said a northbound 1999 Saturn struck the rear of a 1997 Toyota, then hit a light pole.
The Saturn driver, 67-year-old Carlos Rodriguez, died at the scene. The Toyota driver was not injured.
"Weather and speed appear to be contributing causes in this accident," Ritter said.
