Police issue warrant; wrong-way driver

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - Georgia authorities have issued a warrant for the arrest of a man blamed for killing a 21-year-old Marine driving home to Alabama in a head-on collision.

Cobb County police spokesman Officer Joe Hernandez said Thursday that 71-year-old Bruce Joseph Quayle of Villa Rica is charged with homicide by vehicle, serious injury by vehicle, driving under the influence, reckless driving and driving on the wrong side of the road. Hernandez says Quayle cannot be formally arrested until he is released from the hospital, where he is in stable condition.

Police say Quayle was driving the wrong way on Interstate 20 when he hit a car driven by Lance Corporal Gregory M. Suedmeyer, killing the Marine and injuring his 19-year-old wife, Katelyn Suedmeyer. Police say the Suedmeyers were headed home to Huntsville, Alabama, from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
