A 7-month-old girl was killed after a high-speed police chase involving a driver on a suspended license ended in a 10-car pileup in Georgia.
As authorities tried to pull the car over, the driver stopped briefly on the shoulder before speeding away, prompting a police chase, the Georgia Department of Public Safety said.
The driver, later identified as 33-year-old Cameron Gabriel Kemp, sped eastbound on the interstate before losing control while trying to come off an exit.
Kemp was also taken to an area hospital where he died from his injuries.
The Georgia State Patrol’s Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team responded to investigate the crash.
The state’s Department of Public Safety extended its condolences to the family of the deceased infant.
“Above all, we ask the public to keep Kalayia Tolbert’s family, and everyone impacted by this tragedy in their thoughts.”
