The Hall County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a wrong-way driver collision that claimed the lives of three people on GA 365 over the Memorial Day weekend.
Sheriff’s deputies and Hall County Fire Services personnel responded to the nearly head-on two-vehicle crash at approximately 12:10 a.m. on Sunday, May 30, just south of Kubota Way.
According to the initial investigation, Daney Nava, 27, of Lilburn, was driving her car south on the northbound inside lane of GA 365 and hit a northbound 2015 Jeep Patriot Sport. The Patriot, driven by Kristen Nicole Mitchell, 23, of Cleveland, flipped on its side and caught fire.
Both drivers and the only passenger involved in the wreck, Darnell Fernando Fidencio, 8, also of Lilburn, died in the wreck. Fidencio was riding in the back seat of Nava’s 2013 Volkswagen Jetta.
Following the initial collision, a northbound 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe C1500 struck debris in the roadway. No one in the Tahoe was injured.
