The FCSO said Moye was traveling north on GA 400 when the northbound traffic signal turned red. Lamb obeyed the traffic signal and crossed GA 400 to continue west on Jot ‘Em Down Road.

Investigators said Moye was traveling at a speed that made it impossible for him to stop for the red traffic signal.

Lamb and her two dogs were pronounced dead at the scene.
