The incident kicked off when a 2006 Jeep Commander, driven by 22-year-old Tristan Barlett of Rabun Gap, was traveling southbound on Ga. 15. For unknown reasons, the driver failed to maintain his lane, crossing the dividing line into northbound traffic. Other vehicles plying the north travel lanes crashed into the Jeep, causing major traffic disruption.
The couple traveling in the motorcycle died at the scene, while the motorist who started the chain-reaction collision sustained only minor injuries. Medics took him to Mountain Lakes Medical Center for medical aid.
The crash also involved a 2016 Chevrolet pickup, whose two occupants, Breanna Almeida and 31-year-old Hanna Abercrombie suffered minor injuries as well.
