A woman who caused multiple crashes in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday morning, April 14th, would need to hire a top accident lawyer. The police identified the suspect as Seniqua Lunsford, 38.
According to the Atlanta Police Spokesperson, Steve Avery, the events that led to the multiple crashes began at about 5:30 a.m. A news crew was setting up in the Atlantic Station area for news coverage, and at the same time, officers received a call about a crashed Toyota Highlander.

The vehicle was sitting wrecked in the gate of the Atlantic Condos on 17th Street. The police arrived and were trying to assess the scene when a pregnant Lunsford came out of the wrecked car and hijacked a news van with a reporter, Iyani Hughes inside.
The woman drove the van away and ignored Hughes — who is also pregnant — pleas to stop the vehicle. Lunsford had barely gone beyond a mile when she crashed along The Prado near Peachtree Circle.
Avery said that the reporter did not sustain any injury, but the medic took her to the hospital for a checkup. The Highlander driver, on the other hand, was taken to Grady Memorial for treatment of an arm injury. Authorities are unsure if she sustained the wound from the first or the second crash.
Lunsford was arrested and taken to the Grady Detention Center. She is facing a charge of kidnapping, and the police are investigating what led to the first crash.
Those involved in an accident either as a victim or an offender should contact a top accident lawyer for legal advice and representation.
