A 24-year-old woman, McKayla Harshaw, was killed in a seven-car pileup on I-75 South in Atlanta on Friday, while six others sustained injuries. The crash occurred when a stalled Pontiac caused traffic to slow, leading to a chain reaction involving larger vehicles, including two Freightliner trucks that overturned. The investigation into the incident, which took place around 1:30 p.m., lasted over four hours and resulted in the closure of all southbound lanes, complicating recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene.
