    A preliminary investigation shows that the auto accident that killed Ms. Minnie was not a hit-and-run as previously reported. The crash, which happened Sunday night (April 26), was a head-on collision and the result of a mishap with her car, authorities now say.

    "The initial crash investigation shows that Ms. Ross was traveling south in a Nissan Sentra on Old National Highway," South Fulton, Georgia police said in a statement to PEOPLE. "Her car hit the right-side curb, crossed into the northbound lanes and struck a Ford Focus that was traveling north head-on. There was no third vehicle involved."
    A police spokesperson continued, "There has not been any mention of driving under the influence as a factor."
    Police said Ross was taken to a nearby hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. The driver of the other vehicle was left with minor injuries and treated at the scene of the accident. 

    Ms. Minnie was only 34 years old. 

    BET sends condolences to the Ross family at this time.
