COLLEGE PARK, Ga. - A College Park police sergeant is facing multiple felony charges after authorities say he gave chase to a vehicle on Interstate 285, witnessed a fatal crash, and left the scene without rendering aid.

What we know:

According to arrest warrants, Sgt. Donnie Smith has been accused of reckless driving, violation of oath by a public officer, failure to report an accident, first-degree homicide by vehicle and hit-and-run resulting in death.

The charges stem from an August 17, 2025 incident near Riverdale Road in Riverdale, where officials say Smith, driving a 2024 Ford Explorer police SUV, pursued a 2009 Land Rover at speeds topping 100 mph. Investigators allege the chase did not meet the requirements for authorized emergency vehicle pursuits under Georgia law.
