An Augusta man died Wednesday as a result of serious injuries sustained 11 days before when his vehicle struck a house, authorities said.

Terrell Marzette, 58, died Wednesday night at Wellstar MCG, according to Coroner Mark Bowen. He was driving a vehicle Dec. 2 on Meadowbrook Drive at Brookshire Drive when his vehicle left the road and struck a house on the 3600 block of Meadowbrook Drive in Augusta.

A witness photo shows Terrell Marzette’s vehicle being towed from the scene of the Dec. 2 wreck.

Marzette was about a mile from his house on Spring Glen Lane when he crashed. Images from the scene show a badly damaged car being towed from the street, which was blocked off after the crash.

Unfortunately, Marzette had a long list of previous traffic offenses on his record. The driver had a few speeding tickets in the last few years, as well as at least two charges for driving on a suspended license and one for a stop sign violation. He was also once charged with operating an unauthorized vehicle with blue lights, according to public records.
