Police have determined that Brent Hinds, co-founder of the heavy metal band Mastodon, was at fault in the motorcycle crash that resulted in his death last month.

On the night of August 20, Hinds’ Harley-Davidson collided with a BMW SUV at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Boulevard, according to Atlanta police. Hinds, 51, was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Atlanta News First reported that police stated in their preliminary report that the SUV driver failed to yield while turning left at the intersection. She then collided with Hinds, who was traveling on Boulevard, authorities said then.

However, a new crash report obtained by Atlanta News First states that investigators found Hinds was at fault for the accident due to speeding.
