COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Police have identified a driver they believe was racing another car moments before crashing into an oncoming vehicle, killing two people.
The crash happened around 4:45 p.m. back on April 7, near the intersection of Floyd Road at Bates Drive in Cobb County.
Police say George Cambi was driving a red Infinity G35, and may have been racing a silver Chevrolet Trailblazer before the fatal crash.
According to police, the Infinity G35 smashed into a Toyota Yaris as it tried to make a left turn from Bates Drive onto Floyd Road. Authorities say 31-year-old James Wheeler was behind the wheel of the Yaris and 35-year-old Douglas Duff Jr. was his passenger. Both were taken to the hospital, but later died from their injuries.
EMS also took the driver of the Infinity - Cambi - and his juvenile passenger to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Police say Cambi turned himself over to authorities at the Cobb County Jail on April 15. He's now being charged with reckless driving, racing, two counts of first degree vehicular homicide and second degree cruelty to children.
Police have identified the Chevy they say Cambi was racing, and they're hoping the distinguishing features will help jog people's memories to help them find new leads.
The Chevy has silver wheels on the front, and a black wheel on the back. It also is described as having dark-tinted windows, a black hood and loud exhaust.
If anyone has any more details about the crash that could help investigators, they're asked to call the Cobb County Police Department at 770-499-3987.
