Last week, Fox 5 (Atlanta) reported that a former 18-year-old minor league Atlanta Braves player faces vehicular homicide charges in Florida.

He is accused of causing a crash on I-75 south of Tampa, heading southbound. This led to a truck flipping on its side and the death of the truck driver, a father of four.

The accused was also charged with leaving the scene of a deadly crash.

The baseball player fled the scene, and the car was later found at the Braves facility in Venice, Florida. He entered a "not guilty" plea.

"I'm sad, and I'm mad," said the truck driver's widow. "The whole situation could have been prevented."

She said to Fox 5 Atlanta that her husband was her best friend and now he's gone.

The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
