Forman, 21, was the sole fatality in the crash reported around 7:30 p.m. March 10 along S.R. 140/Hickory Flat Highway just west of Jep Wheeler Road.
A preliminary investigation reveals that a passenger vehicle driven by Wendy Millican, 44, was traveling westbound on Highway 140 when it crossed the center line and collided with the vehicle driven by Forman, which was going eastbound, sheriff's office spokesperson Lt. Jay Baker told Patch.

That initial collision caused Forman's vehicle to cross the center line where it was hit by a third vehicle that was also traveling westbound. The first vehicle in the crash also struck a fourth vehicle, which was also traveling eastbound. That caused the fourth vehicle to leave the roadway and slide down a steep embankment, Baker said.
A driver and two passengers in the fourth car were not injured, and the driver of the third vehicle -- which had no passengers -- was not injured. Millican, also a Canton resident, was treated for non-life threatening injuries at WellStar North Fulton Hospital.
According to his obituary, Forman is survived by mother, Kimberly Forman of Canton; brother, Conner Forman of Canton; sister, Kayla Forman of Canton; grandfather, George Jafano of Washington, Michigan; grandmother, Marie Forman of Sterling Heights, Michigan; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
According to the Remembering Corey Forman Facebook account, the 21-year-old graduated from Creekview High School and studied information systems at Kennesaw State University.
