A Sharpsburg man has been charged with vehicular homicide in the death of a 25-year-old woman in a July 19 single-vehicle accident in Peachtree City.
Matthew G. Sherman, 22, was charged with homicide by vehicle – first degree, DUI, reckless driving and failure to maintain lane, according to Fayette County Jail records.
Peachtree City Police Department spokesman Chris Hyatt said officers at 1:40 a.m. responded to the site of the accident on Golfview Drive off Flat Creek Road.
The vehicle left the roadway and was wrapped around a tree, Hyatt said.
The female passenger, 25-year-old Meghan Foos, of Washington state, had to be extricated and was deceased at the scene, Hyatt said.
Hyatt said Sherman sustained minor injuries and was transported to Piedmont Fayette Hospital and then to the Fayette County Jail.
The July 19 incident represents the third DUI-related fatality in the city in 2022.
