A Kennesaw State University student was killed after being ejected from a car in an early-morning crash Friday, March 3, according to Cobb County police.
Four students were inside the 2003 Acura when the driver reportedly lost control around 4:30 a.m. on the I-75 northbound exit ramp to Chastain Road. Police said the vehicle rolled onto its roof and then collided with a tree.
Sophomore and 19-year-old business major Colin Ruland was ejected from the car and later pronounced dead at WellStar Kennestone Hospital, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Police said that Ethan Dowell, the driver, was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, along with Cole Kovarchik and Jordan Wormsby, the other two passengers.
Police are still investigating the accident. Anyone with information on the crash is asked to contact Cobb County Police at 770-499-3987.
In a statement released Friday evening, a KSU spokesman said the university was “deeply saddened” at the news. Students, faculty and staff who want to speak with a grief counselor are encouraged to contact the Counseling and Psychological Services Center.
