A Douglasville man was charged over the weekend  for his role in a multi-vehicle crash in Carroll County last June, which resulted in a single fatality and numerous other injuries.

25-year old Tyrone Robinson is accused of driving to closely and too fast for conditions, after the 2013 International Model 4000 truck he was driving eastbound on I-20, struck the vehicle ahead, causing a chain reaction involving seven vehicles.

The accident happened just before 10:00am on Saturday, June 3rd, 2017. Leazier passed away as a result of injury caused by the crash.
