ATLANTA (Reuters) - Three people were killed on Wednesday in a 27-vehicle pile-up on a foggy interstate highway in Georgia that links Atlanta and Savannah, officials said.
The crash, involving a tanker truck that ruptured and caught fire, shut down I-16 in both directions about 30 miles southeast of Macon, according to the Georgia Department of Public Safety.
The Georgia State Troopers office confirmed three fatalities and nine injuries from four separate crashes. "As other vehicles approached the first crash, separate chain-reaction crashes then occurred," the State Troopers office said in a statement.
The Georgia Department of Transportation's website said I-16 could be closed until Wednesday afternoon.
