My best friend lives in Loganville, Ga. A few weeks ago, an 18 y.o. boy stole a car, he was being chased by the police and as he took the sharp curve in front of my friend's house, he went off the road, the car hit an embankment in the next door neighbor's front yard. The kid wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car, he flew 75 feet and landed on the ROOF of the neighbor's house!!!! Sadly, he died, on the roof.

WALTON COUNTY — Law enforcement officials are investigating the county’s ninth traffic fatality of the year after the body of an 18-year-old Winder man was ejected from a stolen car and ended up on the roof of a Shiloh Road home early Sunday morning.According to Loganville Police Department officials, two calls were received around 2:30 a.m. — one from the Kroger grocery store on the corner of highways 78 and 81 alleging a shoplifting incident and a hit and run, the other from a LPD officer who reported a car doing 86 mph on Highway 81 north. According to LPD officials, the officer realized it was probably the same vehicle and attempted to turn around.“But by that time the vehicle had already turned onto Shiloh Road and wrecked,” LPD Maj. Dick Lowry said. Walton County Sheriff’s Office officials have identified the driver as Dustin Corey Lee, 18, of Winder. Lee was driving a Chevy Impala that was reportedly stolen from Lee Byrd Road. When officers went to the address to notify the family of the fatality, they discovered the car had been stolen. The owner did not know the victim and was not even aware at that time the vehicle had been stolen.According to WCSO officials, Lee was not wearing a seat belt. It appeared he began to lose control of the vehicle going around a curve. It then slipped into a ditch and struck a culvert at the driveway of the home where the body was found, after which it is believed the car flipped, ejecting the driver. Debris from inside the car was found in a nearby tree. The incident remains an ongoing investigation by the Georgia State Patrol.Lee is survived by his mother, Wendy Lee, and step father, Ted Smith, both of Winder; father, David Watson of Loganville; brothers Brandon Watson and Clay Smith, both of Winder; grandparents Theda Lee of Lilburn and Debbie and David Watson of Loganville; great-grandparents Mildred Lee of Lilburn, Lavonia Lang of Loganville, George Watson; several aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends. Lee graduated from the National Guard Youth Challenge Academy in 2007 and helped to recruit kids to the academy. He loved to play guitar and helping his Nana.
