Six people were killed – including three children – after a head-on collision on Interstate 95 in Georgia early Sunday, according to officials.
The Georgia State Patrol told Fox 5 the deadly crash happened around 2:05 a.m. near the Exit 76 on-ramp to the interstate in Liberty County, located about 30 miles south of Savannah.
Officials said a Lexus RX350 with Florida license plates driven by 77-year-old man had been traveling in the wrong direction in the left lane on the interstate. The Lexus then struck head-on a Nissan Rogue with an adult female driver, adult passenger and three children inside.
Liberty County Sheriff’s Deputy Lt. Jason Colvin told the Coastal News Service that the Liberty County 911 issued a “lookout advisory” around 2 a.m. for a white Lexus traveling southbound in the northbound lane of I-95.
