A 5-year-old boy was killed late Thursday in a two-car crash on Ga. 316 in Barrow County, the sheriff’s office said Friday.
About 7:40 p.m., a westbound Volvo S80 struck a Honda Civic when the Honda, which was eastbound on 316, tried to turn left onto Ga. 81 in front of the Volvo, Capt. Ryan Sears said.
The boy, who was a passenger in the Honda, died on the scene. His name was James Manders, Channel 2 Action News reported.
The force of the collision split the Honda into two pieces, Sears said. The road was closed for about three hours because of the crash.
