Atlanta police Monday were trying to determine the cause of a single-vehicle accident near Second Ponce Baptist Church that left a 46-year-old College Park man dead.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office Monday afternoon identified the victim as Damantang Sylla.

There were no obvious signs the wreck, which occurred in the 2700 block of Peachtree Road NE, was “weather or medically related,” Atlanta police Sgt. Greg Lyon said. “The roads are wet out here, but I don’t see any ice.”
