The vehicle was a 2006 Chevy Tahoe and the driver missed a stop sign at the intersection of those two roads, which is more or less a T-intersection. They traveled through the intersection off into a churchyard. They were out of control for about 450 feet."
According to the police, Lutzenkirchen was not wearing his seatbelt.
The driver, Joseph Davis, was also killed.
Two other passengers were taken to West Georgia Medical Center in LaGranger, GA for treatment.
