ROSWELL, Ga. — A 23-year-old mother was killed in a head-on crash on Lower Roswell Road in East Cobb on Wednesday morning.
The crash involved Bryanda Joya’s Honda Accord and a Lexus SUV, injuring the other driver. Joya was rushed to the hospital but did not survive her injuries.
She was minutes away from work when the collision happened.
Joya graduated from Hiram High School and worked as an insurance coordinator for a pediatric dentist in East Cobb. She was also taking coding classes while raising her 2-year-old son.
Witnesses described the crash scene as horrific, with tire marks and gas leaks visible on the pavement. Friends and family have set up a memorial at the site to honor Joya’s memory.
Her coworkers returned to the crash scene on Thursday to hold hands, pray, and contribute to the growing memorial.
A GoFundMe has been launched to help with funeral expenses and support for her young son.
