COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A woman died Thursday night in a crash in Cobb County, police said.
The Cobb County Police Department in a release Friday morning identified Margaret Hamby, 58, as the driver who died in a single-vehicle crash on Lost Mountain Road.
The department said the crash occurred near the intersection with Macland Woods Road.
Cobb Police said their investigation found the 2002 Nissan Pathfinder being driven by Hamby "veered off its lane and onto the southern grass shoulder for reasons yet to be determined" as she was traveling eastbound on Lost Mountain Road.
"After briefly returning to the roadway, the Nissan again traveled onto the grass shoulder and collided with a concrete drainage pipe, causing the vehicle to trip and come to an uncontrolled rest on its driver's side," the department's release said.
Cobb Police added: "Tragically, Mrs. Hamby succumbed to her injuries at the scene and was pronounced deceased by personnel from the Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office. The collision is currently under investigation, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Cobb County Police Department STEP Unit at 770-499-3987."
