Police Conclude Investigation of Fatal Austell Crash
Originally, Cobb police investigators found 42-year-old Adriane Coleman to have caused the accident. However, their investigation led them to determine 64-year-old Coleman caused the accident.

As a result of an ongoing investigation, Cobb police recently determined a fatal crash was not caused by the victim, Adriane Coleman, crossing the center line as originally thought.
According to police, the crash occured around 2:30 p.m. on April 9 when the 2010 Nissan Versa driven by 64-year-old Sylvia Coleman of Powder Springs crossed the center line and collided with a 1994 Dodge Spirit.
Sylvia Coleman was traveling southbound on Austell-Powder Springs and 42-year-old Adriane Coleman of Austell, the driver of the Spirit, was heading north on the road.
