A Hall County man was killed Saturday afternoon in a crash on I-75 in northwest Georgia.
The Georgia State Patrol said Christopher Neal Causey, age 47, was traveling southbound in a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu on I-75 near the Tunnel Hill exit when the fatal crash occurred around 5:40 p.m.
An accident report indicated that Causey was traveling in the right lane of the interstate and was trying to move into the middle lane. As he moved into the center lane, another vehicle traveling southbound in the center lane hit the rear of Causey's vehicle. The collision pushed Causey's vehicle into a road grinder that was working in the left lane, according to media reports in the Dalton area.
The accident report showed that Causey was properly restrained at the time of the crash; he was trapped in his vehicle for a time.
No one in the other vehicles was injured.
