Truck driver charged after 8 family members, including 5 children, killed in fiery ‘chain reaction’ crash

A Georgia truck driver has been charged with multiple counts of vehicular homicide after allegedly causing a fiery highway crash that killed eight members of a family including five children.

Kane Hammock, 33, was arrested after his semi-trailer vehicle plowed into the family’s vehicle, causing them both to burst into flames, authorities said. The collision resulted in a “chain reaction” with four more vehicles smashing into the wreckage Monday at around 4 p.m. on northbound Interstate 85, about 60 miles northeast of Atlanta.
