Infant dies following early morning crash on I-285
An infant died following a multi-vehicle crash on I-285 in Dunwoody Monday morning.
Dunwoody police said two vehicles collided on westbound I-285 near Chamblee Dunwoody Road at 5:05 a.m. Then two more crashes occurred as a result of the first, police said.
One of those secondary crashes involved a Gwinnett County ambulance transporting an infant. When the ambulance became undrivable, the DeKalb County Fire Department responded and transported the infant to a hospital. The infant passed away at the hospital from causes not likely related to the crash, police said.
Three other people – all adults – were transported to area hospitals following the crashes. They appeared to have non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said one driver has been charged with driving with no license and failure to maintain lane. No other charges have been made at this time.
