Reports of Reed being the victim of a hit-and-run accident were soon discredited by Gwinnett County authorities police, who confirmed that the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident stopped, called 911, and also rendered aid to Reed after the incident.
A passenger in the vehicle was also witness to the bizarre accident, that occurred on a dark stretch of Georgia highway.
According to the AJC, authorities are seeking any information which can help explain Reed’s accidental death.
Gwinnett County police would like to speak to “anyone who might have information about anything that could help us determine why she was there, anything to help us understand how this came together,” said police spokesman Sgt. Rich Long.
“As of right now, it does not appear that the driver has any fault in this event,” said Long, who added that it was the driver who contacted police about the accident. The driver, who was not immediately identified, was not expected to be charged, the spokesman said.
Police received a call around 10:30 p.m. Friday that a woman had been struck by a red Honda Accord on Lawrenceville Highway (U.S. 29) near Hamilton Road, just north of Lilburn.
Investigators were still trying to determine why Reed was in standing in the roadway and whether she was crossing or walking alongside it.
A spokesman said CPR was performed at the scene and Reed was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 10:59 p.m.
Reed would have celebrated her 33rd birthday yesterday (October 28, 2012) and many are drawing eery parallels to her former mentor, Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopez’s death.

Other than the driver and a passenger in the car, it appears that there are no other additional witnesses.
“It’s kind of a dark lit area,” said Long. “There is not really anything in that area that’s open at that time of night, that would be any kind of a draw to a person up there,” he said.
As previously stated, Reed has been plagued with drug & alcohol issues. Having been arrested at least twice in 2011 on various charges stemming from her addictions.
Reed was arrested in DeKalb County on April 13 and charged with violating the open container laws and disorderly conduct. She was released the next day on a $420 bond.
She was arrested again on June 29, 2011 in Dunwoody, a suburb West of Atlanta. She was charged with DUI and driving with a revoked license and released two days later on $2,230 bond. (source)
A spokesman for Gwinnett County authorities said more information would be released as facts become available.

Man at first I thought she was in a car accident now I’m hearing she got hit by a car What Really Happened To Her ????? This is just so sad , Rip Beautiful ,Gone To Soon
The many parallels to her former mentor, Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopez’s death IS TOO CREEPY i mean everything is the same even the color of damn the car, i smell illumanti (SONY has been wacking alot of their artist as of late including Whitney and Donna Summer) and how does dui arrest equat to drug issues?
I agree @mon88. The media seems to always find criminal activity on the victims (famous or not). She was human and drinking is legal, drinking & driving is obviously not okay, but they could of left her personal life out of it. How do they know it was an addiction especially (drugs). RIP GIRL!
They ALWAYS do that! Whitney’s family couldn’t even mourn because they dug up all of her dirt! Damn!
I agree..It’s almost as if people are tryin to say that’s why she died. Without truly knowing that. But, I agree…I hate when people do that. She was also a Mother, someone’s Child, and Friend. Can we learn to let the dead rest in peace.
Alcohol is considered to be a drug.
please explain your theory…seriously
Bless her family and son. Anything else is a non issue. I hope they get an answer though. Too sad.
They should cause I still don’t understand how a grown ass woman gets hit crossing the street.
V103 reported earlier today that some of Ms. Reed’s family members reported that she was talking on a cell phone while crossing the street. It’s really tragic.
I hope they find all the information they need-this is beyond tragic. Prayers going up for her family and loved ones, especially her son.
don’t nobody walk on lawrenceville highway at night except for chicanos who just got off their kitchen shift. while the accident is tragic for the loss of life, i feel badly for the driver because now they have to deal with that on their conscious for the rest of their life.
This surely does sound fishy. hmm.
when its ur time..to leave here..death has no feelings to how n why its done..we aint promised here another day..it ain’t nothing to understand ..when its time..ur gone to..and u dnt know how u gona go..just hope you aint tragic as ms reed..rip”
All of the early 90′s babies need to put their lighters up for the late, great Natina Reed.
