Douglasville, GA (January 23, 2023) – Around 6 a.m. on the morning of Monday, January 23, one person lost their life in a fatal car accident in Douglasville.
According to the Douglasville Police Department, the accident happened in the westbound lanes of I-20 around the area of Fairburn Road. Police confirmed that two vehicles were traveling on the highway in the area when they were involved in a sudden collision due to reasons that are not fully known. The involved vehicles were badly damaged and had to be towed from the scene.
Paramedics, fire crews, and several other responders were called to the scene to help those in need. One person, who has not yet been identified, sustained traumatic injuries and was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. It is not known if anyone else was hurt as a result of the collision.
All westbound lanes of traffic were blocked in the early morning hours as police worked to clear the scene. This led to delays until the scene was fully cleared.
