Authorities have not disclosed when the crash happened or whether the driver of an approaching vehicle remained at the scene.
LITHONIA, Ga. — A 28-year-old pregnant mother and her unborn child died after she lost control of an all-terrain vehicle while trying to avoid an oncoming vehicle on a residential street, according to her family.
Domunique Kindred was riding the ATV down her street in Lithonia when she swerved, struck a mailbox and collided with a parked vehicle, family members told FOX 5 Atlanta. The ATV overturned, leaving Kindred unconscious. She was taken to a hospital, where she died.
The circumstances surrounding the approaching vehicle remained unclear Saturday. Authorities had not released a description of that vehicle or said whether its driver stopped after the crash. No information had been announced about possible citations or charges.
Officials also had not released the exact date or time of the crash. The incident was publicly reported Friday, July 10, but several basic details about the investigation remained unavailable, including the precise location and whether police had identified additional witnesses.
Kindred was not wearing a helmet during the short ride, her family said. Her sister, Alexis Kindred, said Kindred planned to ride the ATV down the hill and return but never made it back. The family’s description indicates the vehicle overturned after the initial impacts, though authorities have not released a formal crash reconstruction.
The case highlights the difficulties investigators face when a crash may involve both a recreational vehicle and another vehicle that did not make direct contact with it. Investigators would need to determine the ATV’s path, the location of the approaching vehicle and whether either driver violated a traffic law before reaching conclusions about responsibility.
All-terrain vehicles are designed primarily for off-road use, but crashes involving them can occur on neighborhood streets and other paved areas. Georgia traffic records include ATV deaths among the state’s motor vehicle fatalities, though such deaths make up a small part of the overall total.
Kindred’s death also left two children without their mother. Her family said she had a 4-month-old son, Kanan, and a 5-year-old son, Yosiah. She had recently completed cosmetology school and was preparing for the birth of her third child.
Authorities had not announced additional findings as of Saturday. Questions about the approaching vehicle, the exact timing of the crash and whether another driver could face legal consequences remained unresolved.
