Authorities say another electric scooter rider has died in a metro Atlanta wreck.

Atlanta police say 46-year-old Quineterry McGriff, clothed in all black, ran a red light during rush hour traffic Tuesday morning and crashed into a truck.

Capt. Allyn Glover tells news outlets that the truck driver swerved to avoid McGriff, who then crashed into the truck's passenger side. McGriff was hospitalized and died. WSB-TV reports the driver won't be charged.
