Man dies after crash on I-85 in Union City

A 26-year-old man died after being involved in a crash on I-85 North in Union City on Wednesday morning, authorities said.

The driver of a black Ford F-150 lost control and struck a guardrail on the right shoulder before slamming into the median barrier wall around 3:20 a.m., according to Georgia State Patrol spokesman Lt. W. Mark Riley. Shortly after the truck came to a rest on the interstate, a silver Nissan Altima hit the vehicle, Riley said.

There were two people inside the Ford. Jermarcus J. Godfrey died at the scene and another person was injured, authorities confirmed.
