After Incident Review – May 17, 2016 TRIP wreck on I-75Corey Anderson, GDOT HERO Supervisor (511)

I-75 SB CollisionMAY 17, 2016

Situation: The exit ramp to Exit 216 SB was backed up. Two of the vehicles involved in the collision were stopped on the interstate waiting to exit, when the third vehicle collided with the rear vehicle. The collision involved two tractor trailers and a passenger vehicle.

All vehicles were in the right hand lane of travel. D1 was driving a 2016 International and was not paying attention to traffic ahead of him. As he applied the brakes the vehicle began to slide on the wet pavement, so he tried to turn to the right. His vehicle hit the guard rail and was pushed back towards the left.

The tractor trailer collided with the rear of V2, causing it to spin nearly 180 degrees. The collision pushed V2 under the third tractor trailer, which was stopped in front of V2.

Emergency Response: Police and Rescue personnel were dispatched to the scene. Initial responders were able to travel from Exit 218 south to the scene. Once on scene the remaining two lanes on the SB side of the interstate where shutdown by rescue vehicles.

CW Matthews employees began helping emergency responders by open an area of the construction zone to help relieve some SB traffic.

Henry County Fire Personnel began with the extrication of D2. Based on the severity of the collision Henry County Traffic was called to the scene and GA DOT Hero was requested. As Henry County Traffic Units were in route the Interstate was shutdown, so they could approach the scene of the 216 Exit ramp.

SB traffic remained closed until the scene was secured and vehicles were removed from the roadway. While the driver of V2 was being extricated the collision was TRIPPED. Wrecker One was on scene, standing by.

Vehicle Removal:

The driver of the passenger vehicle was transported to Atlanta Medical Center. The driver was released from the hospital the same day.

• Lessons Learned:

Communication on the scene is key. Emergency Responders need to have a good working relationship with fellow responders and outside State Agencies.

Emergency response training and experienced responders is a necessity to the safe and timely clearing of the scene.
