"GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A crash on a Gwinnett County interstate left one person dead Friday morning.

The crash happened around 2 a.m. on Interstate 85 South at the ramp to Steve Reynolds Boulevard. Several lanes of the interstate were shut down for hours while authorities investigated.

Witnesses said a pickup truck was going pretty fast when it clipped a small SUV carrying Sam and Kathleen Moka. They were headed to the airport when they were hit. Witnesses said the pickup truck flew across the interstate, up an embankment and landed on the Steve Reynolds ramp.

“We were looking for the car that hit us, until the witnesses came to us and said, ‘Oh, it's way over the ramp there,’” Kathleen Moka told Channel 2’s Sophia Choi.

The Mokas said their SUV spun several times before stopping on I-85. They are OK, but someone in the other car was thrown from the vehicle and died.

All lanes of the interstate reopened around 4:30 a.m."
