ATLANTA (AP) - A wrong-way driver was killed early Saturday after colliding with another vehicle on Ga. 400, Atlanta police said.
Officers were dispatched to the head-on crash in the northbound lanes near Sidney Marcus Boulevard just before 5 a.m., Atlanta police spokesman Officer Anthony Grant said.
The man who caused the crash, identified as Jose Lopez-Vega of Gwinnett County, was pronounced dead at the scene, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. It’s unclear why he was traveling south in the northbound lanes.
The woman he hit was injured in the collision. She was taken to Atlanta Medical Center and is expected to survive, Grant said.
