On August 11, 1949, Mitchell and her husband, John Marsh, were crossing Peachtree Street near 13th Street in Atlanta on their way to a movie theater when she was struck by a car driven by an off-duty taxi driver. She suffered extensive internal injuries and a skull fracture, and she died five days later in an Atlanta hospital. (The driver was initially charged with drunk driving and speeding; he was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter and imprisoned.)
