Two drivers died and two other people were injured Friday in an early morning wreck on I-75 that Henry County police said involved a wrong-way driver.
The crash happened in the far left southbound lane of the interstate near mile marker 220, Channel 2 Action News reported.
According to Channel 2, a car with two adults and a child inside was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes when it collided head-on with a southbound car, killing the driver of the second car.
The woman driving the northbound car was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition, but later died. A 15-year-old girl in her car was hospitalized in good condition, and a toddler in the car was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston and is expected to recover, Channel 2 said.
The names of the woman killed and the three people injured have not been released.
Police do not suspect that alcohol was a contributing factor, according to Channel 2.
All southbound lanes of I-75 were shut down for several hours, but reopened just before 5:30 a.m.
