Seven people were killed in a crash Saturday afternoon on I-85 in Franklin County, Georgia, the Georgia State Patrol says.
Investigators said the crash happened around 1:40 p.m. near mile marker 160 when a Ford SUV traveling north crossed through the median and entered the southbound lanes.
When the Ford crossed over, it hit a Chevrolet van in the left lane, causing the Chevrolet to hit a third vehicle that was in the right lane, investigators said.
Several agencies, including GSP, the Georgia Department of Transportation and the Motor Carrier Compliance Division, responded to the scene in Northeast Georgia.
