MAN CHARGED IN HORRIFIC WRECK THAT KILLED 3

- By Joshua Sharpe

After two sports cars collided near Moreland Avenue on Feb. 18, a 35-yearold man named Kane Danger was rushed from I-285 to the hospital with life-threatenin­g injuries.

Three people were dead, two men who were ejected from a Chevrolet Camaro and a woman who’d been a passenger in Danger’s own Camaro.

Five months later, the Decatur man has been booked in the DeKalb County jail on charges of racing, reckless driving and three counts of vehicular homicide.

Ahmad Baldwin, 24-yearold bottling plant worker, said he was coming home from a shift after midnight when he saw it.

In the rear-view, he saw a blue 2015 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS convertibl­e approachin­g from behind. The car passed Baldwin. A silver 2014 Camaro LT coupe, allegedly driven by Danger, followed.

The second car changed lanes and the sports cars collided, a police report said. Both hit the guardrail. Marshall Hill, 31, of Decatur, and his passenger in convertibl­e, Phillip Smith, 32, of Lithonia, were ejected. Baldwin said one landed in the road in front of his car, the other behind.

Baldwin struggled to comprehend.

Mariah Page, 22, of Decatur, was trapped in Danger’s Camaro and was pronounced dead at the scene, a police report said.

“I was literally surrounded by death and I was the only one who was OK,” Baldwin told The Atlanta Journal-Constituti­on in February.

Police haven’t described the injuries sustained by Danger.

He was booked Thursday and released early Friday morning on $10,000 bond, jail records show.

He couldn’t immediatel­y be reached for comment.
