PALMETTO, Ga. (AP) – Authorities say two adults and one child were killed in an interstate crash in west Georgia.

The Coweta County Coroner’s office tells multiple news outlets Saturday that 35-year-old Nikia Wilson, 33-year-old Kayla Wilson and her 7-year-old daughter Denyla Viggers died in the crash Friday night. The three were riding in a sports utility vehicle.

The Georgia State Patrol says the SUV was traveling in the inside lanes on Interstate 85 before losing control and struck the concrete median wall. The SUV rolled over several times, ejecting three people from the car.

Authorities say four other people were taken to Egleston Hospital. The names of the victims injured in the crash have not been released.
