Posted by Terry Boyd on June 14, 2017

Another deadly and dramatic crash has happened along Highway 316, one of the most dangerous sections of road in Georgia. USNews.com reported on this latest incident.

Eight vehicles in all were tangled up in the crash. The one death happened when their vehicle was wedged underneath a tractor-trailer and caught fire. 17 others were injured. Nine were taken to hospitals, two in critical condition.

No further information was given about what caused the crash or who might be at fault. Police are still investigating this tragic and complicated accident.
