Cobb County police said Asia Hendricks was driving a 2004 Ford Econoline carrying Crook and other employees of the park. They were in the back cargo compartment of the van when it crashed.

Crook was thrown from the van after it made its way through a left, uphill curve on Harbor Way, according to Cobb investigators.

Officials said Crook sustained serious head injuries from the pavement. Both the park and local first responders provided care on-site and transported her to Grady Memorial Hospital with severe, life-threatening injuries.

She later died from her injuries.
