ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Cobb County police are investigating after one person died and two people were injured in a crash in Cobb County on Sunday morning.

Police say a white Maserati Levante driven by 32-year-old James Graham was traveling north on John Ward Road around 6:15 a.m. when he tried to turn and lost control of the car near Old John Ward Road.

“The vehicle continued toward Old John Ward Road, where the Maserati impacted an embankment and came to a final uncontrolled rest, and then caught fire,” Cobb County police say.
