UPDATE (12:30 p.m.)
We've now received more details from the Georgia State Patrol (GSP) about how the wreck happened.
Investigators say a Ford Fiesta driven by 21-year-old Michael Bundy of Kane, Pennsylvania turned on to Highway 41 from a private business, trying to head north.
Bundy pulled in front of a military humvee heading north, says the GSP.
The Hummer struck the Fiesta in the right front, and then travelled across the concrete divider, striking a Chevrolet S-10 heading south.
EMT crews pronounced the Chevy S-10 driver dead on the scene. The GSP says the driver is from Tunnel Hill, but has not identified him pending notification of next of kin.
Authorities arrested Bundy and charged him with failure to yield right of way, homicide by vehicle in the second degree, and operation of an unsafe vehicle.
The GSP says the unsafe vehicle charge is due to the fact that Bundy was involved in a rear-end accident the day before in Franklin County, Georgia, and says Bundy's hood was taped down, along with a lot of other issues that made the car unsafe.

EARLIER:
A 3-vehicle crash claimed at least one person's life on Highway 41 near Tunnel Hill in Whitfield County Tuesday morning, according to the Georgia State Patrol (GSP). Both sides of Highway 41 are closed as of 9:30 a.m.
We're told the crash involved a military vehicle and two other vehicles. It happened in the southbound lanes just off the Tunnel Hill exit of Interstate 75.
A spokeswoman for the Georgia National Guard says the military vehicle involved in the crash is owned by the Tennessee National Guard, and was leaving the Catoosa Armory at the time of the crash.
Our crew on the scene saw EMS crews are treating two members of the military on the scene inside an ambulance.
As crews worked to remove the wreckage off of the road, an Army truck arrived to remove the humvee involved.
A GSP officer tells our crew they're going to fly a drone over the scene to reconstruct the crash with an aerial view.
We're not clear right now how many were hurt, but we're working to learn more.
