This deadly crash happened right near the Downtown Connector in Midtown and investigators say the other driver was under the influence.
The victim has been identified as Troy Simon. His fiancée tells FOX 5 his death devastated the entire family.
Investigators say Simon was in the process of loading a vehicle when they say a driver under the influence hit a police car than him.
"It is like a dream, a bad dream," said Ashley Williams, Simon’s fiancé. "I just want to wake up from it."

Medics rushed Simon to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died the next day.
