In Georgia, USA, a car driven by a woman in her 20s caused a four-vehicle head-on collision due to driving in the wrong direction, resulting in two deaths, including a Korean national, and two serious injuries.


According to local media 11Alive and the Athens Police Department on December 23 (local time), in the early morning of December 21, Desirée Browning, 26, entered the opposite lane of GA 10 in Athens, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, and collided with two vehicles. The vehicle continued to drive after the impact and collided head-on with a car carrying the family of Mr. Choi, a Korean national, 25.


As a result of the accident, Mr. Choi died at the scene, and his wife, Lexi Waldrup, who was a passenger, sustained serious injuries. The wrong-way driver, Browning, also died, and her passenger suffered serious injuries.


According to the donation site GoFundMe, the couple, Mr. and Mrs. Choi, were newlyweds who married in June. Mrs. Choi, Waldrup, was pregnant at the time of the accident and is receiving treatment in the intensive care unit, but both the mother and fetus are in critical condition.


Waldrup's family stated on the website, "Lexi is desperately trying to protect her baby while grieving the loss of her bright-spirited husband far too soon."


The Athens Police Department in Georgia is investigating the entry path of the at-fault vehicle and the cause of the accident.
