Racing Accident on I-285 Kills Two, Injures Two in DeKalb County | Atlanta Serious Accident & Fatal Accident Lawyer

Date:  Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Location:  I-285 in DeKalb County (metro Atlanta)
Type:  Fatal Accident

What police believe was a racing accident on I-285 in DeKalb County left two people dead and two injured Tuesday evening, according to the WSBTV website.  According to witnesses, a Mustang and a Corvette were racing in the northbound lanes of the interstate between the Lavista Rd. and Lawrenceville Hwy. exits around 8:00 p.m. Tuesday when the driver of the Corvette, 20-year-old Brandon Phillips, lost control of his car.  After striking a guard rail, the Corvette collided with an SUV, killing Phillips and his passenger, 18-year-old Jordan Makanani, and injuring two people in the sport utility vehicle.  Police located and questioned the driver of the Mustang on Wednesday regarding the I-285 racing incident in the Atlanta area.

I really hate that this is being chalked up as a racing accident. Brandon would never race with a passenger. I am ashamed of the police force. Think about it, when was the last time you did 10-15 over the limit, the common answer is "yesterday" or "today" or "everyday"!! Doing a little over does not make it racing.
