A Cobb County man is charged in a car wreck in which his passenger was decapitated.

Police say John Kemper Hutcherson, 21, was driving under the influence of alcohol Saturday night when his truck struck a utility pole. His passenger, Francis Daniel Brohm, was partially ejected. His head was severed by the pole's support wire, police said.

But police say Hutcherson continued home and went to bed, covered in blood. A neighbor walking with his baby spotted Brohm's body hanging out of Hutcherson's truck about 8 a.m. Sunday, said Cobb County police Cpl. Dana Pierce.

Hutcherson was treated for dehydration before being booked at the county jail. He is charged with vehicular homicide.
