A woman is dead after a high-speed electric bike crash in Atlanta early Friday morning.
Atlanta police responded around 7:20 a.m. to the 500 block of Glen Iris Drive NE following reports of a single-vehicle accident.
When officers arrived, they found an unresponsive woman who had been riding an e-bike. Grady EMS pronounced her dead at the scene. Her age and identity have not yet been released.
Officials say the woman was speeding as she approached a stop sign at the intersection of Glen Iris Drive and Winton Terrace. Investigators say she tried to brake, but the bike did not stop.
She then crossed through the intersection, hit a curb, and was thrown from the bike. APD says she hit a wall headfirst.
The Fulton County Examiner’s Office responded to the scene to remove the victim.
The APD’s Investigations Unit is continuing to investigate what led up to the crash.
