R.I.P. Captain Herb...

Capt. Herb Emory, who helped millions of WSB listeners and viewers navigate Atlanta's roadways, died Saturday, the Douglas County coroner said.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, Emory stopped to help motorists involved in a two-vehicle crash on South Burnt Hickory Road in Douglas County. One of the vehicles overturned.

"He was not involved in the crash but had stopped to try and assist," the State Patrol said in an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Emory was taken to WellStar Douglas Hospital for medical evaluation, officials said.

Douglas County coroner Randy Daniel told Channel 2 Action News that Emory suffered a massive heart attack. He was pronounced dead at 3:30 p.m.

Motherfricker...

Dude was a part of my 4AM routine. It was usually just him, me, mellish, and Mark Arum out on the country roads. Obviously the traffic report didn't do much for me, but the routine got me through the morning.

Holy shite, serious? Man, I remember listening to Captain Herb way back in the day when I was getting ready for school and the news was on.

I am more sad about this than I would have expected I'd be. RIP Capt. Herb.

One of my favorite memories was when he and Neal got in live on-air shouting matches about whether or not cops were just revenue collectors writing tickets in the name of public safety. These exchanges happened during Boortz's preview-hour between 830 and 9, when the traffic reports broke in every 6 minutes.
