On March 19, 2024 (approx. 3:28 PM), Johns Creek Police were dispatched to a reported single-vehicle crash. Officer Weinrich arrived around 3:31 PM and found the SUV sideways on a residential lawn and actively burning. After reducing the flames enough to access the vehicle, officers broke the sunroof and removed the female driver through the opening. One assisting officer was evaluated for lacerations after breaking glass during the rescue.
The driver was identified as Alka. After she was removed, officers located a mostly empty bottle of Yellow Tail Pinot Grigio (per report). Officer Bacon arrived around 3:40 PM and assumed the investigation. The Johns Creek Fire Department extinguished remaining embers while EMS evaluated the driver.
