Fatal crash on Old Cleveland Road

   A high-speed crash on Old Cleveland Road killed the driver and left first responders searching for any other possible victims, though no one else was found.

   The 2017 Chevy Silverado went off the road on the left shoulder into a ravine, plowing through the brush for more than 75 yards, leaving wreckage in its path and ejecting the driver, later identified as Ivan Huaroco Hurtado, 26, of Demorest. The cause of the wreck was still being investigated Friday, and State Troopers believe it occurred overnight and was just discovered in the morning.
