One person was killed Saturday in a crash involving three vehicles on I-20 East just west of Columbia Drive, DeKalb County police said.

A Honda Accord stalled on the freeway, and a Ford pickup truck hit the Honda from behind, then hit an Acura, according to police.

The driver of the Honda and a passenger in the pickup were taken to a hospital, police said. The Honda driver was pronounced dead.

The crash and investigation backed up traffic on the freeway for well over an hour, according to reports.
