Overview

• The Atlanta Police Department’s Sept. 4 crash report concludes Hinds was primarily at fault based on speed calculations of 63–68 mph.
• The determination relies on time–distance analysis from intersection video and corroborating witness descriptions that he was driving fast.
• An earlier incident report initially cited the BMW SUV driver for failing to yield, but the new findings reverse that preliminary assessment.
• Accounts differ on the traffic signal: the driver told police she was positive the light was green, while a witness reported it was red.
• Hinds, 51, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where he died; the SUV driver was hospitalized, and public reporting has not noted any criminal charges.
