The Georgia State Patrol has identified those who were involved in a fatal wreck on I-75 North in Henry County on Thursday that killed a 10-year-old girl and led to major delays on both sides of the interstate.

Angelica Ballinas, 10, died after being ejected from a Mercury Mountaineer, the GSP said. Eight others were also ejected from the SUV and transported to different hospitals, including three who were flown.

The driver, Sonia Del Carmen Cabrera Benitez, 31, of Fort Smith, Ark., and Maria Olimpia Rivas Quevedo, 46, of Van Buren, Ark., were taken to Atlanta Medical Center, the GSP said.
