Cobb County police say a Mableton man who died in a single-car wreck Monday apparently suffered a medical emergency that caused him to lose control of his car.

Eric Alexander, 50, crashed his white 2006 Land Rover on Veterans Memorial Highway near Hickory Trail in Mableton, investigators said.

Alexander was not in control of the car when it left the right side of the roadway and came to an uncontrolled stop on the shoulder, police said.

He was transported by ambulance to Wellstar South Cobb Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
