A single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning in Fulton County resulted in the death of a Canton man.
According to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department, at around 12-30 am, deputies were called out to Randolph Road, northwest of Canton, for a single-vehicle accident.
The sheriff’s office says that an initial investigation revealed that a 2016 Chevrolet of an unknown model had left the roadway, then became airborne over a creek before striking an embankment.
45-year-old Timothy J. Uryasz, of rural Canton, was the lone occupant of the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene by Fulton County’s Coroner Steve Hines.
