The “Little Women: Atlanta” cast member was traveling in car near Atlanta’s Old National Highway late Sunday when the collision occurred. She died about 10:30 p.m. Monday at Grady Memorial Hospital, publicist Liz Dixson said Ross had been involved in a hit-and-run accident, but Lt. Derrick Rogers.
A spokesman for the City of South Fulton Police Department, said in an email that the driver of the other vehicle, a Ford Focus, “received minor injuries.” Fulton Police Department wrote:
“The driver of the Nissan Sentra (Ross) hit the right-side curb, lost control of the vehicle, crossed into the northbound lanes of travel and struck a Ford Focus head-on that was traveling northbound,” Rogers said in the email. “The investigation is ongoing and I have no further details.”
