Serigne Mbodji Death – Five individuals, with at least one individual hailing from Atlanta, lost their lives in a tragic accident on I-75 in Tift County on Tuesday evening. Around 6:39 p.m., Georgia State Patrol (GSP) troopers and MCCD officers were called to the scene near mile marker 69 following reports of a fatal crash involving multiple casualties, as reported by GSP.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the vehicle involved was traveling in the center lane of the interstate while a tractor-trailer was parked on the right shoulder. The driver of the vehicle failed to stay in their lane, leading to a collision with the tractor-trailer and ultimately coming to a stop.
GSP confirmed that the driver and three passengers succumbed to their injuries at the crash site, while another passenger was taken to a nearby hospital where they later passed away due to their injuries.
As of now, only one passenger has been identified as 22-year-old Serigne Mbodji from Atlanta. The remaining individuals are currently undergoing the identification process, and their next of kin have yet to be notified.
