A tragic wrong-way collision occurred early Sunday morning on GA 400 in Buckhead, resulting in the death of a 24-year-old woman, identified as Morgan Glover. According to the Atlanta Police Department, the crash involved a Kia Sorento and a Toyota RAV4, and took place around 5:10 a.m. near Lenox Road NE. Emergency responders arrived at the scene to find Glover unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. Despite medical efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Toyota RAV4, a 52-year-old man, was also found unresponsive but was still breathing. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Early reports from law enforcement suggest that the crash was the result of one of the vehicles traveling in the wrong direction, which led to a head-on collision.

Latasha Barnes, who was en route to her church that morning, narrowly avoided becoming another victim of this devastating incident. She recalled the terrifying moment, stating, “I kept honking, kept honking, thinking the car was going to slow down, but it didn’t, it just kept going straight.” Her quick reflexes allowed her to dodge the wrong-way driver, but for Morgan Glover, the outcome was tragically different.

The crash shut down GA 400 North in Buckhead for several hours, causing major traffic delays. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) confirmed that the accident occurred just before Peachtree Street and that all lanes were closed until around 10 a.m., with traffic being diverted to Sidney Marcus Boulevard during the closure. Thankfully, all lanes have since been reopened, but the impact of this tragic event will be felt for a long time by those involved, especially the family and friends of Morgan Glover.
