Georgia Man Killed in I-57 Accident

A Lawrenceville, Georgia man was killed in a crash on northbound I-57 around seven Monday evening. The accident occurred near milepost 126 about a mile south of the Kinmundy exit.

State Police indicate Freddy Vasquez, 50 of Lawrenceville Georgia, left the road to the right, then re-entered the roadway and crossed both lanes before running off the left side of the road, going down an embankment and striking several trees before rolling onto the driver’s side.

Marion County Coroner Troy Cannon said Vasquez died instantly, and that alcohol was clearly the primary contributing cause. Vasquez was alone in the van and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Kinmundy/Alma Fire and EMS as well as United Response EMS also responded to the scene.
