The Gwinnett Police Department said the driver of the vehicle that hit Natina Reed called 911 at 10:30 PM last night, according to TMZ.
They added that Natina Reed was pronounced dead at Gwinnett Medical Center 29 minutes later.
A press release relayed that Natina Reed “was in the roadway on Lawrenceville Highway near Hamilton Road when struck”.
Police say the driver “was determined to be not at fault and there are no charges pending”.
