Marietta Police are looking for witnesses to chain-reaction crashes Monday night on the Canton Road Connector at Cobb Parkway North that seriously injured two drivers.
Kanisha Thompson, 25, of Lapine, Ala., and Connie Hawkins, 51, of Euharlee, Ga., were both taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to police.
Police said the incidents took place at
10:15 p.m.
They said Thompson was driving a 2011 BMW 328i and Hawkins was behind the wheel of a 2008 Buick Enclave when their cars crashed at the intersection. Police said 911 dispatchers initially reported only minor injuries, and that after the crash, both drivers left their vehicles.
Shortly after that crash, and before first responders arrived at the scene, two other vehicles approached the intersection, according to police.
Police said the cars from the original wreck and their drivers were still standing in the road, and that visibility in the area was poor.
Police said Samy Nolasco, 21, of Rome, was driving a 2001 Nissan Frontier northbound on Cobb Parkway. The truck hit the BMW, which then struck Thompson and Hawkins, according to police, who said the Nissan also hit a 2014 Ford Explorer driven by Jabari Mckenzie, 27, of Kennesaw.
Marietta Police are asking anyone with information to contact Investigator Samimi at 770-794-5384.
