Friends of three men who were killed in a single-vehicle weekend crash in Midtown continued to grapple with the tragedy Monday.
“Life without them will definitely be different,” Andre Hilton told Channel 2 Action News. “We will always remember them.”
The men were traveling south Saturday in a 2012 Audi A3 on the Buford Highway Connector at about 3 a.m. when the driver lost control of the car. The car veered off the Spring Street ramp and flipped over a wall, landing on its roof in the I-75 northbound lanes, police said.
Hilton said he was one of the last people to see his friends before the accident that claimed the lives of Cordel Fowler, 24, Adam Bailey, 33, and Esu Manzano, 36.
Hilton said friends called Fowler “Corky” during his days as a student at Morehouse College, adding that “Corky would keep you laughing. He would bring life to all the parties.”
Bailey was a well-known artist who performed at the Opera Nightclub, Hilton said.
“You blink your eye and all that changes in a matter of a second,” Hilton said.
