The daughter of the woman who crashed into Giselle Perry’s car outside a Kroger supermarket says her mom “blacked out” behind the wheel.

Perry, the aunt of Atlanta Falcons cornerbacks AJ Terrell, 27, and Avieon Terrell, 21, was parked outside the Kroger grocery store on Wesley Chapel Road in Decatur, Ga. when she was killed around 3:20 p.m. Wednesday, WSB-TV reported.

Perry, 49, had just dropped her mother off at Kroger and was waiting in her car outside the store when the accident happened.

Witnesses said the driver drove slowly through an intersection before accelerating at high speed into the Kroger parking lot and crashing into Perry’s car.

The impact pushed both cars onto the sidewalk and struck a pole, knocking cinder blocks off the pole. A pedestrian walking outside the store was also hit.

“The woman came down here like a missile and knocked the car that way,” Doderick Moore told Atlanta News First. “She knocked every brick off that pole in one lick.”

The driver and pedestrian were transported to a hospital. They were both hospitalized with serious injuries. Perry was pronounced dead at the scene. No charges have been filed.

Tyeisha Wilson, the daughter of the driver who crashed into Perry, said her mom had just left her home before she “blacked out”.

“My mom blacked out while she was driving and she didn’t even know what was happening,” Wilson told WSB-TV.

Perry’s husband, Laddyan, described her as “great and gorgeous.” He added: “She was everything to me.” They were set to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary in June.

“She was loving, caring, she [would] do everything for me,” he told 11Alive.
