An automobile collision occured
on Friday, December 10, 1993, at approximately 7:30 P.M. in Bibb County, Georgia.
Mr. Raymond A. Mack, driving a 1987 BMW was traveling southbound on Pio Nono
Avenue inside the City limits of Macon, Georgia. Mr. Mack had safely stopped
his vehicle behind another vehicle which was getting ready to execute a lefthand
turn. A vehicle being operated by Mr. Kelly E. Holland was also traveling
southbound directly behind Mr. Mack's vehicle and was unable to stop before
striking the rear of Mr. Mack's vehicle thus pushing Mr. Mack's vehicle into
the rear of the vehicle immediately ahead of him.
Soon thereafter, Ms. Wendy L. Brown while operating her vehicle was also
following so closely behind Mr. Holland's vehicle that she too was unable
to stop and thus slammed into the rear of Mr. Holland's vehicle with such
force that his vehicle was thrust into the rear of Mr. Mack's vehicle a second
time.
At the time of this collision Ms. Miriam L. Mack was a frontseat passenger
in her husband's vehicle and their minor son, Mr. Vincent Mack was a backseat
passenger.
