MCINTOSH COUNTY, GA – In a horrific accident on Interstate 95 early Thursday morning, a North Carolina mother and her four children were killed in a fiery crash in Georgia, about 45 miles south of Savannah.
Reagan Duggan, 27, was behind the wheel of a Jeep Grand Cherokee when it collided with a white Infiniti sedan. Her children, aged 9, 4, 2, and 3 months, were all in the vehicle with her at the time of the crash. Witnesses reported that the SUV was speeding before the collision and soon after erupted into flames.
