The crash took place just off the northbound lanes of I-265, past the Smyrna exit, at about 3:45 a.m. Sunday.

He was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. There weren't any other vehicles involved.
The coroner's office lists Reid's cause of death as blunt force trauma sustained in an accident.
