Sgt. Wayne Delk, police spokesman, said no charges are expected because it appears Godard was at fault.
The crash happened about 9:45 p.m. on the East West Connector, just east of the Concord Road overpass.
The drivers of the other two vehicles, ages 37 and 18, were taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital with minor injuries.
