FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a deadly crash that happened Wednesday along Blue Ridge Overlook at Carlisle Road.

The sedan pulled into traffic directly into the path of the truck. The driver of the truck tried to avoid a crash but ended up hitting the sedan.

The driver of the sedan, William Wiggins, was seriously injured in the crash. Deputies said that the 29-year-old was rushed to a nearby hospital but later died from his injuries.

Forsyth County deputies are still investigating the crash, but as of now, they don’t believe impairment and speed played a role in the wreck.
