Car Crash That Killed Ashley ‘Ms. Minnie’ Ross Not A Hit And Run
ASHLEY “MS. MINNIE” ROSS
When the initial reports of
Ashley “Ms. Minnie” Ross’ death came in, it was reported as a hit and run.
In a statement on her In- stagram page, her publicist Liz Dixson wrote: “Ashley Ross aka “Ms Minnie” of Little Women Atlanta has succumbed to injuries from a tragic hit and run car accident today at the age of 34.”
But in the days since the accident took place on Sun- day, new information has been released.
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, police indicate that Ross lost control of her vehicle and crossed into oncoming traffic.
AJC reports that Lt. Der- rick Rogers of the South Fulton police said, “Ross’ Nissan Sentra hit a curb along Old National Highway near the intersection of Lantern Lane. She lost control, crossed into the northbound lanes and hit a Ford Focus head-on.”
While Ross suffered seri- ous injuries and was taken to the hospital to treat them, the driver of the Ford Focus suf- fered minor injuries.
Additional details about the case are being withheld as it is still being investigated.
Lifetime had announced that season 6 of “Little Women: Atlanta” had already been filmed.
There has been no word about how they would handle Ross’ unexpected death.
