OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On October 27, 2024, at approximately 1:05 a.m., Georgia State Patrol (GSP) troopers observed a white Mercedes-Benz sedan traveling at 75 mph in a 40 mph zone on Dawson Road in Albany, Georgia. Troopers initiated a traffic stop by activating emergency lights and sirens. The driver did not stop, prompting troopers to escalate the situation into a high-speed pursuit. The vehicle turned onto Magnolia Street, continuing southbound at high speeds. As the vehicle approached a set of railroad tracks, it accelerated, became airborne, and crashed upon landing. The pursuing troopers found the driver inside the vehicle with head and facial injuries. Three male passengers, including 18-year-old Jaquan Hill, were ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
