Georgia police chase ends in 10-car crash and infant death
A high-speed police pursuit on Interstate 20 in DeKalb County, Georgia, resulted in a 10-vehicle collision that killed a 7-month-old girl and the driver of the fleeing vehicle.
The incident began late Saturday night when a Georgia State Patrol trooper observed an Audi sedan traveling approximately 110 mph in a 60 mph zone without headlights. After the driver briefly stopped on the shoulder, he fled, initiating a chase. The driver eventually lost control at Wesley Chapel Road, striking a guardrail and multiple other vehicles.
Seven-month-old Kalayia Tolbert died from her injuries after being transported to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The driver, identified as 33-year-old Cameron Gabriel Kemp of Covington, also died at Grady Memorial Hospital. Investigators noted that Kemp was driving on a suspended license and had active warrants for probation violation and failure to appear in court.
