Mailbox Collision Kills Sick Teen

Posted: 5:42 pm EDT April 3, 2007Updated: 8:49 am EDT April 4, 2007

ATLANTA -- A teenager in Fayette County died after a very unusual accident.

Police say 18-year-old Brandon Buster was a passenger in a car Sunday.

Officials say Buster felt ill and was leaning out the car door to vomit, when he hit a mailbox.

The car was going about 15 miles per hour at the time because the driver was slowing down to let Buster out.

Buster was pronounced dead at Piedmont-Fayette hospital.

Police say their investigation will continue.

No charges have been filed.
