Marietta Police Department revealed that Liv Teverino was driving a 2016 Volvo XC90 on Burnt Hickory Road near Devonwood Trail when it slammed into a tree. The Sun revealed that the accident happened after Liv dropped a friend at her home and was driving back to her home.

The car was covered in flames, which slowly started to spread to nearby places. Police officers and firefighters were called to the spot, and although they discovered Liv inside the car, she could not be saved.

Liv's classmate Oliver Crowson revealed that her friends have put flowers and messages on her high school parking spot. Crowson also expressed his grief by saying:

"You don't think about this at this age. You don't think that one of your classmates, the sweetest ever, could pass away like that. She touched the hearts of everybody she talked to or went around. She was a perfect follower of Christ. She was intelligent. I believe she was going for valedictorian."

According to The Sun, Liv was an athlete and was one of the participants in the International Baccalaureate Program.
