The driver of the car, a 23-year-old man, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment. Torre L. Brown, 27, died at the scene. Marijuana and alcohol were found at the scene, according to police. The westbound lanes of the expressway were closed for several hours while authorities investigated.
