A man was killed in a single-vehicle crash early Sunday morning on Browns Bridge Road near Holland Drive on the west side of Hall County.
Traffic investigators with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said Alex Velasquez, 28, of Gainesville was traveling eastbound on Browns Bridge Road when he tried to negotiate a curve near Cherokee Trail. Velasquez’s truck left the side of the roadway and struck a stop sign and a tree just past Holland Drive. Velasquez was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash was reported to Hall County Dispatch around 12:40 a.m. Sunday, September 4.
The preliminary investigation indicates speed may have been a contributing factor in the crash, the sheriff’s office says. Traffic investigators will continue to investigate the case.
Velasquez is at least the third person killed on Northeast Georgia’s roads over the long Labor Day holiday weekend.
