COBB COUNTY, Ga. - A driver was killed in a crash involving a tractor-trailer on Interstate 20 in Cobb County.
The crash happened shortly after 3:30 a.m. July 25 on the eastbound side of the interstate near Riverside Parkway.
Officials say both a 2008 Pontiac G6 was traveling and a 2002 Freightliner Cascadia pulling a 53-foot trailer were both driving in the same lane on the interstate.
For some reason, police say the Pontiac lost control and hit the median wall, causing it to continue spinning and collide with the Freightliner.
The Pontiac spun out and eventually stopped on the southern shoulder. The Freightliner ended up jackknifed on the same shoulder.
Tragically, the driver of the Pontiac did not survive the crash. The driver was identified by officials later in the day as 29-year-old Stephanie Figueroa-Mora of Villa Rica.
The driver of the Freightliner and his passenger were not injured in the collision.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. If you have any information, call the Cobb County Police Department at (770) 499-3987.
