CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A crash on a busy metro Atlanta interstate led to rush hour violence that turned deadly.

Channel 2's Alyssa Hyman arrived to the scene Tuesday night and found a pickup truck and Jeep that crashed on Riverdale Road near the I-285 Exit in Clayton County on Tuesday night.

A witness said the woman driving the Jeep confronted the pickup driver after the crash around 6:15 p.m., during the evening rush.

"She jumped out (of) the vehicle and (was) punching him, telling him, 'Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car,'" the witness said.
