A two-car wreck on Ga. 5 Friday evening left one driver dead in Douglas County, the Georgia State Patrol said in a news statement.

The GSP said a Chevrolet Venture was traveling north on Ga. 5 near the fifth mile marker before failing to maintain his lane for an unknown reason.

That vehicle went into the southbound lane and struck an oncoming Ford F-150 head-on, causing the Ford to overturn, GSP said.

The driver of the Chevrolet died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash, GSP said. The driver was identified as Mark Logan, of Newnan, GSP told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
