Investigators said Hamilton was traveling west on Shamrock Drive around 8:50 a.m. and ran off the roadway to the right at Farley Street. He then re-entered the roadway and crossed over the double yellow dividing line while rotating counter-clockwise.

At the same time, the driver of the Ford Expedition, traveling east on Shamrock Drive, struck the front passenger side door of the Mitsubishi.

Family members told Channel 9 that Hamilton had a 3-month-old son.

Investigators are still determining if speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. Both drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
