8-Year-Old Girl Killed, 11 People Injured in I-285 Atlanta Truck Accident

June 25, 2008 - Tragedy occurred early Sunday morning (June 22) as eleven people suffered injuries and one child was killed in a multi-vehicle truck accident on Atlanta’s I-285. According to reports, an 18-wheeler truck jack-knifed on the Atlanta interstate just north of Camp Creek Parkway, causing another truck and four cars to suffer damage in a chain-reaction trucking accident. Atlanta’s busy roadway was closed to traffic for three hours.

Some of the resulting injuries were severe, including those sustained by children. For the 8-year-old girl, the accident ended her life. Due to the fatal and serious nature of the accident, personal injury lawsuits and a wrongful death claim are predicted to follow.
