The driver in a single vehicle rollover wreck on Ga. 316 near Sugarloaf Parkway Tuesday afternoon has died.

Shawn L. Bailey, 39, of Marietta, lost control of his SUV while trying to avoid a collision with another vehicle, then hit an embankment by the side of the highway and rolled several times before stopping 75 feet from that spot, according to the Gwinnett police report.

Bailey, who the report said was unrestrained, was ejected from the vehicle.

Two passengers, a 37-year-old woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were restrained suffered minor injuries, police said, and were taken to Gwinnett Medical Center. Bailey died at the hospital from his injuries, police said.

Neither speed not alcohol appear to be factors in the accident, the report noted.
