Three people were killed and one person arrested in an early morning wrong-way crash on I-75, Sunday.

Jorge Solis, 20, was charged with driving under the influence on the scene after he killed a man and two small children driving the wrong way on the southbound portion of the interstate near Porsche Avenue.

A second man and a 3-year-old were also seriously injured and sent to the hospital for treatment.

Solis was driving a Ford F-350 pickup truck.

The wreck shut down all southbound lanes of traffic near the Porsche headquarters around 4 a.m.

Solis was arrested for driving while under the influence, driving the wrong way, serious injury by vehicle, and three counts of vehicular homicide first degree.

Jail records showed Solis, an Ellenwood resident, was being held without bond.
The names of the victims have yet to be released.

Georgia’s road death toll is through the roof this year.
