On the above stated date and time I, TFC Dawson 584, was patrolling in a marked patrol vehicle traveling northbound on I-75 near interstate I-285. I observed a silver Ford Focus conduct several lane changes without signaling and following too closely. I caught up to the vehicle and paced its speed at 88 mph in a 55 mph zone. I also noticed the vehicle had a tinted tag cover, which made it difficult to read. The driver conducted a right lane change in front of my vehicle without signaling. The driver then conducted several more lane changes as he failed to maintain his lane. I attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle as we approached I-285. The driver began to flee as he conducted two lane changes to the left without signaling. The driver failed to maintain his lane and conducted two lane changes to the right without signaling and nearly struck a vehicle. The driver then conducted three lane changes to the left without signaling, fail to maintain lane, and traveled in the H.O.V lane without a passenger. The driver then conducted two lane changes to the right without signaling and reached speeds over 100 MPH in a desperate attempt to flee. The driver continued to drive extremely reckless as we approached Cleveland Avenue, on I-75 north. The driver exited to Georgia 166 and attempted an improper lane change at a high rate of speed, causing him to lose control of his vehicle. The driver struck an embankment and overturned his vehicle. I approached the vehicle with my patrol car and ordered the driver out of the vehicle with my duty weapon displayed, but he did not respond. I waited to approach the vehicle when responding units arrived and discovered that the driver was deceased due to fatal injuries referencing the crash. The vehicle was removed by South Metro Towing.
