His car overturned, traveled about 55 feet onto the west shoulder and went down an embankment.
According to the Instagram post, Davis worked for the fire department in Meriwether, too.
“As we mourn our loss of our brother,” DeKalb fire said in the post, “we ask you to please keep the Davis family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.”
