Sheriff Joe Chapman told Channel 2 Action News the crash was reported between 4 and 5 p.m. on Clegg Farm Road near Social Circle.

No additional information was immediately available.

Investigators are asking anyone who may have seen anything regarding this incident to please let them know as soon as possible.
