A man was killed Tuesday in a single-car wreck in Canton.

The driver of a Mazda 3 hatchback was traveling west on Ga. Highway 20 around 3 p.m. when he lost control of the car, crossed the median and flipped several times, said Tim Cavendar, spokesman for Cherokee County Emergency Services.

The driver, a 27-year-old man, was ejected from the car. The man had a faint pulse when emergency personnel arrived, Cavender said, but he later died at the scene. There were no other injuries. The man's name has not been released.
