An overnight police chase in Cobb County came to a tragic end when a car crash resulted in one fatality. Captured by a FOX 5 viewer's doorbell camera, a black BMW SUV was seen traveling at high speed along Frey Road in Kennesown, closely followed by a police vehicle. The sequence concluded with the suspect's vehicle crashing at the intersection with Abington Walk, according to FOX 5.
Nearby, the SUV came to rest after colliding with the stone sign of the Abington Green neighborhood before plunging into the woods. Reportedly, due to the vehicle's position, a typical tow truck proved ineffective. Specialized equipment was brought in to extract the car, an operation which also led to the temporary closure of neighborhood access, as reported by FOX 5.
Cobb County police confirmed the casualty but have not released any identifying details about the deceased, nor have they specified if the person was the driver or a passenger. The reason for initiating the pursuit and any arrests made in connection to the incident have yet to be disclosed by authorities. A large police presence observed at the scene was substantiated by a Channel 2 Action News photographer shortly after midnight. Few facts have been made available beyond the confirmation that a brief chase took place and that it involved at least one suspect, according to Channel 2 Action News.
The investigation into the crash continues, with officers examining the events that led up to the deadly end of the pursuit. As the inquiry unfolds, further information pertaining to the chase and the crash is expected to be made public. However, no details surrounding the origin of the pursuit or potential charges against any surviving suspects have been provided by the police.
