The FHP report says the driver of a semitrailer drove into the right travel lane from the emergency lane just as the driver of a 2005 Honda CRV was driving by. The driver of the Honda hit the back rear of the rig, knocking the Honda into the center median, according to troopers.
The FHP said the front passenger in the Honda died at the scene. He has been identified as Shawn Baek, 18, of Suwanee, Georgia. The driver of the Honda, Shin OK, 46, suffered minor injuries.

The driver of the semi tractor trailer, Admin Hasanovic, 47, wasn't hurt in the crash.
Troopers are testing both drivers to determine if alcohol was a factor in the wreck.
