According to investigators, a black 2006 Infiniti QX56 was traveling west on Glore Road, passing Ethel Springs Trail when the driver failed to maintain a single lane of travel and left the roadway to the right. The right side of the Infiniti QX56 collided with two trees before it was redirected back onto the road and overturned. Two adult male passengers were ejected during the collision.

One male passenger was fatally injured and pronounced deceased at the scene. The male has not been positively identified. The other male passenger was seriously injured and transported to WellStar Kennestone Hospital. That male was identified as Rafael Rodriguez Facundo of Mableton.
