Tommy Pierson, 51, killed, after losing control of his SUV, on I-20 in Austell, striking an on-coming pickup and then overturning.

Police in suburban Atlanta have identified a man who died after being ejected from his vehicle during a rollover crash.

Cobb County police said in a statement that 51-year-old Tommy Pierson of Lawrenceville was riding in a 1994 Ford Explorer on I-20 when he lost control Saturday night in Austell.

Police say Pierson hit a truck in the next lane and began swerving again before spinning and flipping over. Authorities say Pierson was ejected and the Explorer landed on its roof against a concrete jersey wall. Police say Pierson was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Authorities say the passengers in the truck, later identified as James R. Carver, 23, and Richard N. Malphurs, 29, weren't injured and the crash is under investigation.
