Police reports state that the other driver, identified as 31-year-old Buck Rollins, was traveling at more than 90 mph in a 45 mph zone when he lost control of his Hyundai Elantra and collided with the Prius. Rollins allegedly fled the scene, leaving his vehicle behind, before turning himself in to Fulton County Jail. He now faces multiple charges, including first-degree homicide by vehicle, hit and run, reckless driving, and speeding.
Also injured in the crash were the 23-year-old driver of the Prius and a 25-year-old passenger. Their names were not released by authorities, but a Facebook post from Lacy’s niece identified them as her sons, Adrian and Oliver. Both sustained minor injuries and were discharged from the hospital.
According to her family, Lacy suffered severe brain and spinal cord injuries, leading to a coma and ventilator support. After medical consultations, her loved ones made the decision to remove life-sustaining measures in accordance with her wishes.
Lacy’s career spanned more than three decades. She served as script supervisor on more than 135 episodes of AMC’s The Walking Dead between 2011 and 2020. Showrunner Scott M. Gimple shared tributes to her work and legacy following news of her passing.
Her early career included contributions to projects such as In the Heat of the Night, From the Earth to the Moon, SeaQuest 2032, Something to Talk About, Rosewood, and The Neon Bible. She later supervised on films including For Colored Girls, Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming, and Hall Pass. By the 2010s, Lacy shifted largely to television, working on Halt and Catch Fire, MacGyver, Loki, and Kingdom Business. Her most recent credit was the 2024 film The Great Lillian Hall.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support her family in the aftermath of the tragedy.
