In Georgia, a wrong-way driver entered a four-lane highway and crashed into two other cars. The fiery incident left all the victims dead on Monday near Roopville.

A driver traveling the wrong way on a four-lane Georgia highway crashed into two other cars, killing all three drivers, state troopers said.

Investigators say a Lincoln Town Car was traveling north in the highway's southbound lanes when it hit first a Mazda Miata and then a Chevrolet Cruze, both traveling south.
