A driver was charged with second degree vehicular homicide and other traffic-related offenses after a wreck on Tuesday afternoon took the life of a Cedartown Middle School teacher on the Highway 27 Bypass at Collard Valley Road, according to a release from the Georgia State Patrol.

Jamie Chavez-Lopez, 21, of a Cedartown address, was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with misdemeanors for homicide by vehicle in the second degree, failure to obey a traffic control device, and driver to exercise due care by the GSP.

She is being held in the Polk County Jail as of this posting without bond set.

Chavez-Lopez is only facing misdemeanor charges at this point since the death of Cedartown Middle School Social Studies teacher David Brown, 57, of Carrollton, wasn’t intentional.

Additional details were made available this morning from the GSP about the incident as well as announcing the charges.

Brown was driving in his gold Honda Accord passing through the intersection of Collard Valley Road when a grey Ford Bronco traveling north on the bypass was reported to have run the red light and struck the Accord. That sent it rotating, and a Dodge Ram 3500 hauling a flatbed trailer struck the left side again during the wreck.

Per the GSP release, Brown was transported to Atrium Health Polk, where he sadly succumbed to his injuries.

GSP’s Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team is assisting in the investigation.
