An 82-year-old passenger was killed Sunday afternoon after Cobb County police said her SUV turned into oncoming traffic.
Francis E. Walls was riding in the front passenger seat of a gray Nissan Rogue around 3 p.m. when the driver of the SUV tried to turn left from C.H. James Parkway onto Humphries Hill Road near Austell. The Nissan collided with the front of a black Ford F-150 going the opposite direction, according to police.
The Atlanta resident was dead at the scene. The driver of the Nissan, identified by police as 62-year-old Shelley K. Wimpey of Douglasville, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. Police do not consider her injuries to be life-threatening.
The driver of the Ford sustained minor injuries and was treated on scene.
