Sandy Springs, GA —

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. —Georgia 400 has now been reopened after a fatal rollover crash closed the highway for most of the early morning.

Sandy Springs police said the two cars involved in the crash near Northridge Road were both overturned. One was injured, and one person was killed.

Morning show host Kelly Stevens of 98.5 WSB-FM was injured in the crash and transported to Grady Hospital.

Kelly was live via phone this morning on his radio show, where he told Vikki Locke of the Vikki and Kelly Morning show that his SUV was hit head on by a wrong-way driver.  "I was conscious during the whole thing.  It just happened so fast it was just nothing I could do." Stevens is being treated for a broken arm and broken leg. 

Sandy Spring Police have confirmed it was a wrong way driver.  According to police reports, it is not known if the driver entered Georgia 400 from Northridge Road or Abernathy.  The deceased female is 22-year-old Carlyn Emily Royball of Alpharetta.
