A Cumming man has been arrested and charged with vehicular homicide for his role in a traffic accident which killed a Gainesville man last week, Forsyth County sheriff’s deputies announced Tuesday.
Vincent Sams, 53, is facing charges of second degree vehicular homicide, failure to obey a traffic control device, and failure to use due regard while operating a motor vehicle, deputies said.
Sams was behind the wheel of a 2011 Ford Mustang that t-boned a 2006 Toyota Corolla that was attempting to turn from eastbound McFarland Parkway on to the Ga. 400 northbound on-ramp just before noon Nov. 17, deputies said last week. Franklin Smith, 49 of Gainesville, died later that afternoon from injuries he received in the crash.
