Here are the names of the people killed in the shocking I-75 crash

The driver of the tractor trailer at fault is facing multiple charges.

HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — Henry County Police released the names of the four people killed in the wreck that shut down northbound lanes of Interstate 75 in Henry County last Thursday. 

The crash, which involved two tractor-trailers and one other vehicle, happened just north of highway exit 155 around 12:15 p.m. Surveillance video shared with 11Alive from Legacy Ford, courtesy of owner Emanuel Jones, showed the moment of impact from the car dealership's perspective.

In the video, the first tractor-trailer is shown slowing down as it approached traffic building. The truck behind it – a white Chevy pickup carrying a load of pine straw – slowed down as well. 

Within seconds, a third vehicle, another big rig, rear-ended the Chevy without appearing to break. That caused a deadly chain reaction, sending the Chevy into the tractor-trailer in front of it. 11Alive has stopped the video the moment before the truck collides into the back of the tractor-trailer.

Police said the impact sparked a massive fire.
