A Georgia sheriff’s deputy was killed early Wednesday when he crashed into a wall and was thrown from his patrol vehicle.

Bibb County Deputy Kenterrous Taylor, 27, was responding to a burglary call at the time of the crash, according to the Bibb sheriff’s office. He wrecked about 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of Forsyth Road and Rivoli Drive.

Authorities said Taylor struck a wall after losing control of his vehicle. The impact caused the cruiser to overturn, and Taylor was ejected, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.

The wreck remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
