ATLANTA, GA — October 13, 2026 Morgan Gamble, a 21-year-old student at Clark Atlanta University, died after a two-vehicle collision at Hank Aaron Drive and Glenn Street in Atlanta, according to police. The crash occurred late Tuesday night, and investigators believe excessive speed played a significant role in the fatal incident.
Police said Gamble was driving a 2016 Mazda CX-5 westbound on Glenn Street and crossing Hank Aaron Drive at approximately 11:15 p.m. when a northbound Lexus struck her SUV broadside.
Emergency responders transported Gamble to Grady Memorial Hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
Investigators reported that a witness saw the Lexus traveling at a high rate of speed before the collision. According to police, information recovered from the vehicle’s event data recorder indicated that the Lexus was traveling approximately 94 mph in a posted 35-mph zone before impact.
The Lexus driver also sustained injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Following his release, authorities booked him into the Fulton County Jail. He faces charges of first-degree homicide by vehicle, reckless driving and speeding.
The investigation remains ongoing, and the reported circumstances have not yet been fully resolved through the legal process.
