SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- The driver of a passenger vehicle was killed over the weekend in a two-vehicle crash along GA-400 in Sandy Springs.

Police and fire units with the cities of Sandy Springs and Roswell were dispatched around 3:07 a.m. Saturday, July 22 on the northbound side at the Chattahoochee River bridge. Officers were informed that a white Ford F-150 struck the back of a 2005 black Volvo S40 that was in the left lane.

According to an incident report released by Sandy Springs police, the driver of the Ford said the Volvo was either stopped or traveling slowly and did not have on any lights. The driver of the truck, who told police he was traveling to Alpharetta after working at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, said he was not injured in the collision.
