A Newnan man has been charged for his role in a fatal car crash that killed a Senoia teen.
Christopher Ty O’Brien, 21, of Newnan, is charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence, serious injury by vehicles and failure to maintain lane, according to jail documents.
He was booked into the Coweta County Jail on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2023.
The crash occurred just after 7 p.m. on June 23, when a 2015 Infiniti Q5 was traveling northbound on Interstate 85 near mile marker 50.
Witnesses of the crash reported seeing the Infiniti traveling at speeds of nearly 140 mph and swerving between cars. One witness reported the Infiniti passed him so fast it shook his vehicle, according to the crash report.
Troopers said the Infiniti attempted to cut between other cars when the driver lost control. The Infiniti left the road, struck a guardrail and overturned several times.
One of the passengers, identified as Terrence Lesean Williams, 17, of Senoia, was ejected from the car and later passed away at a local hospital.
The driver, identified as O’Brien, sustained serious injuries, the report stated. Other occupants of the car, ranging from 14 to 20 years of age, were also injured in the crash.
