3. Over the weekend, two Cobb County motorists were killed in separate single-car crashes. On Saturday night, 30-year-old Marquis Lamar Colenburg of Mableton died after he lost control of his car and crashed into a tree on Six Flags Parkway, just west of the intersection with Queensferry Drive. On Sunday night, 28-year-old Miguel A. Ramirez of Marietta lost control of the vehicle near Shiloh Drive and crashed into several trees on the western shoulder before being ejected from the vehicle and back onto the roadway. Ramirez was pronounced deceased on the scene by Cobb County Medical Examiner’s Office personnel. Both crashes are under investigation; investigators believe speed was a major contributing factor in both collisions. (Cobb County Courier)
