3 dead in crash involving Slingshot on Old National Hwy in South Fulton

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Three people are dead after a crash between a sedan and a three-wheeled vehicle called a Slingshot early Friday morning, according to the South Fulton Police Department.

The crash happened near 1:30 a.m. at 7225 Old National Highway, police said. Authorities are investigating how the crash happened.

Police have not identified any of the victims, but Terence Guthrie said his stepfather, Ryan Hines, was killed in the crash. Hines was a kind man who always wanted to help others and loved to ride around in his Slingshot, Guthrie said. He said Hines was on his way home when the crash happened.

“He was turning in and a car came, and he died on impact,” Guthrie said. “My mother is at the house right now. She’s grieving pretty hard. Everybody is going to miss him.”

A portion of Old National Highway was closed during the investigation, but it reopened around 7:20 a.m.
