COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A 43-year-old woman is now dead after a car accident in Cobb County on Friday afternoon, according to police.

A driver of a black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck tried to turn left, entering the Honda's path. Police said the front of the pickup truck collided with the right front of a Lexus.
The pickup truck then rotated clockwise until it came to a rest. The driver of the pickup truck was taken to the hospital with "superficial injuries."
Lott was also taken to the hospital, where she later died.
The 11Alive SkyTracker flew over the scene on Friday, where a black pickup truck and a silver sedan appeared to have crashed at the intersection of the roads. The two vehicles appeared to be destroyed, with shattered glass scattered across the intersection.
