The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported an automobile accident took the lives of Robert Carter, 39, Delisia Carter, 38, their 9-year-old daughter, and their 2-month-old son. A 6-year-old girl riding with her mom in another vehicle was also killed in the car crash. The collision occurred in south Fulton County on Camp Creek Parkway, between Butner Road and Old Fairburn Road at about 1:45 p.m. There were three motor vehicles involved in the collision, one was a Mercedes the Carters were driving, a BMW whose driver is unknown because the motorist fled the scene, and a Volkswagen car driven by Tracy Johnson, 43, of Atlanta.

The Mercedes and the BMW both crossed the median hitting each other. As the BMW fled the scene, the Mercedes crashed into the Volkswagen head on. The Mercedes struck multiple other vehicles and exploded into flames.
