The victim of a Lee County four-car crash that happened December 16 was identified. According to Lee County Coroner, the deceased man is 53-year-old Kevin Owens of Albany.

The accident happened around 6:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of U.S. 19 South close to Publix and Chick-fil-A.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, three other people suffered injuries that were not deemed life-threatening. They were taken to the hospital.

Public Information Director for the Department of Public Safety, Lt. W. Mark Riley, said Owens was driving a 2000 Toyota Tacoma and heading south on GA 3/US 19 when the accident occurred. 

Also going south was a 2016 Nissan Sentra driven by 48-year-old Angela Young and a 2017 Toyota Corolla driven by 46-year-old Kelsey Adams of Americus.

Riley said Williams tried to pass a vehicle that was going north in the center turn lane and he lost control of the Tahoe which started to rotate counterclockwise. The Tahoe went into the southbound lane of GA 3 and struck the front of  Owens’ vehicle.

The Tahoe subsequently struck the Sentra then the Tacoma rear-ended the Corolla.
