Update 10:34 a.m. EDT April 28: Dixson said Ross had been involved in a hit-and-run accident, but Lt. Derrick Rogers, a spokesman for the City of South Fulton Police Department, said in an email that the driver of the other vehicle, a Ford Focus, “received minor injuries.”

“The driver of the Nissan Sentra (Ross) hit the right-side curb, lost control of the vehicle, crossed into the northbound lanes of travel and struck a Ford Focus head-on that was traveling northbound,” Rogers said in the email. “The investigation is ongoing and I have no further details.”
