The victim was identified as a 24-year-old female and resident of Coweta County. Her name has not been released.

The wreck occurred at the intersection of Cedar Creek Road and Cates Road when a 17-year-old driver of a Dodge Ram pickup truck was traveling north and attempted to pass a dump truck, according to Sgt. Mike Adcock with the Georgia State Patrol.
