A woman died of the injuries she sustained in a Sunday morning car wreck in southwest Atlanta.
The crash happened on Lee Street at Van Buren Street around 9:30 a.m.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the woman was stopped in traffic when her Honda was rear-ended by a Ford and caught fire, Atlanta police spokesman Officer John Chafee said.

She was identified as 69-year-old Juanita Waters of Atlanta, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said.
