A 17-year-old Dahlonega teen was killed and a passenger injured in a single-vehicle crash early Monday on Wimpy Mill Road in Lumpkin County.
The Georgia State Patrol says the wreck happened around 6:42 a.m. on Sept. 1 when a 2008 Ford Mustang left the roadway while negotiating a curve. The car went onto the north shoulder, struck a power pole and guard rail, then overturned into a creek.
The driver, identified as Ayden James Molinari, 17, of Dahlonega, died from his injuries. A 16-year-old passenger was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, troopers said.
The GSP’s Troop B Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team (SCRT) is assisting with the investigation.
