“Fatality collisions prompt very in-depth investigations,” said police spokeswoman officer Sarah O’Hara.
She said investigators prefer to their work on the front end before the legal process begins.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is not identifying the driver, as they have not been actually charged with a crime.
