One person was killed and three others were injured when three vehicles collided last night on I-20 in Columbia County near mile marker 180, not far from the rest area.
Major Steve Morris says an SUV driven by Michael Gene Glenn of Washington, Georgia slammed into the back of a Honda Accord, killing one of the passengers. Glenn told authorities he had taken his eyes off the road to look at his radio and didn't see two vehicles coming to a stop in front of him. The impact pushed the Honda onto the shoulder of the road, while Glenn's SUV rolled onto the driver's side. Glenn's vehicle also hit the back of a pickup truck in front of the Honda.
A back seat passenger in the Honda, Mardrez Jackson of Washington, Georgia, was pronounced dead at Doctors Hospital. Three others in the vehicle are reported to be in stable condition. The other two drivers refused medical treatment.
Glenn is in custody charged with 1st Degree Homicide by Vehicle, DUI, and Following Too Closely.
