According to Sheriff Darrell Dix, “The Sun City night attendant identified as 60-year-old Ebenezer Sowunmi was at his post inside the building when it was struck. He was pronounced dead on the scene by Spalding County Coroner Michael Pryor, who was also able to contact his family members to make them aware of Mr. Sowunmi’s tragic passing.”
The driver of the vehicle, identified as 41-year-old David Glosson, left the scene on foot and went to his father’s house on Firefly Court in Sun City. “When his father found out about the accident, he took his son back to the crash scene, saw what had happened, called the Spalding County 911 Center, and kept his son on the scene until deputies and other first responders arrived. The crash is currently being investigated by troopers from Georgia State Patrol Post 1 in Griffin and troopers assigned to the Georgia State Patrol’s SCRT Team that specialize in fatality accident reconstruction. They will be on the scene reconstructing the accident until later this afternoon.”
Glosson has been charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence, and failure to maintain lane. He is currently housed in the Spalding County Jail without bond. It appears that Glosson has a previous criminal history and had recently been released from jail in California.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Sowunmi’s family as they go through this horrible loss especially at this time of the year. It took a great deal of courage to do what Glosson’s father did by taking his son back to the scene and keeping him their until we arrived. He did the right thing and made sure his son was held accountable for his actions. It’s also a tragedy for that family as well and they are also in our thoughts and pray
