What we know:
Investigators believe the suspect was driving 90 mph down Mount Paran Road when he hit another car on the evening of September 1.
Stacey Elgin witnessed the wreck and tried to stop the fleeing driver.
"I did a U-turn and went back. And at that point, that's when I see this car fleeing," Elgin said. "I did follow the car because this person obviously caused a terrible wreck because I knew we had the green light and they're trying to get out of the situation."
Lacy's loved ones expressed gratitude.
"I can't tell you how much it means to all of us that that person made that effort," Rebecca Senoglu, victim’s best friend, said. "It is a blessing beyond measure."
Authorities said Rollins later surrendered at the Fulton County Jail, where he was charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, hit and run, reckless driving and speeding.

One of them left to join the military on the Monday after her passing, Senoglu said.
Elgin said she had seen them moments before the crash.
"I remember looking at them, they had like a bunch of hair. The windows were down and they were just, like, enjoying a beautiful sunny day. And just like that, man, it was it was over," Elgin said.
She was laid to rest with an eco-friendly burial on Wednesday, and her family shared that she was also an organ donor.
