Early morning accident in McIntosh County kills five
Five people were killed and another one was injured following a two-vehicle accident in McIntosh County on Sunday morning.
Witnesses told Georgia State Patrol Trooper Christopher Ashdown that a Jeep Cherokee was traveling south on Interstate 95 at a high rate of speed when it rear-ended an Infiniti. The Cherokee hit a guard rail, bursting into flames. The crash and ensuing fire killed one adult and four children.
The driver of the Jeep Cherokee has been identified a Reagan Dougan, 27. GSP troopers have learned she rented the vehicle in Raleigh, N.C., and was heading to Florida to meet her husband. The children were a 9-year-old boy, a 4-year-old boy, a 2-year-old girl and a 3-month-old boy.
Ashdown said the Cherokee was a rental and authorities are in the process of identifying the victims. The driver of the Infiniti, from Long County, was transported to Southeast Regional Health System in Brunswick with non-life-threatening injuries.
The accident occurred at mile marker 62 around 6 a.m.
