Authorities have released the names of the people who were killed and injured Friday night when their vehicle crashed on I-85 in Coweta County.
Kayla S. Wilson, 33, of Columbus, Nikia Wilson, 33, of Columbus, and Denyla Biggers, 6, of Columbus were ejected when their vehicle hit the concrete median, the Georgia State Patrol said. Kayla Wilson was the driver. The Associated Press reported that Denyla Biggers is Kayla Wilson’s daughter.
Injured in the crash were DeQuondre Biggers, 15, of Columbus, Kanyus Biggers, 8, of Columbus, Jomari Wilson, 5, of Columbus, and Alexander Crawford, 4, of Columbus, the GSP said. The injured people were transported to Egleston Hospital in Atlanta.
The accident occured about 8:12 p.m. at northbound mile marker 56. A 2002 Ford Expedition traveling in the inside lane lost control and struck the median wall, overturning several times.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
Kortney Calano, Kayla Wilson's foster sister, set up a fundraising account because she said her family members had no life insurance to help cover burial expenses. Anyone interested in donating may visit the GoFundMe page.
