A man was killed as he went to check on the driver of a car his semi-truck had just collided with in Athens, Georgia, the Athens-Clarke County Police Department said.
The initial wreck occurred after 5:30 p.m. Tuesday when a 2002 Chevy Malibu collided with a 2014 International semi-truck after pulling into the vehicle's path in north Athens, said the ACCPD in a news release.
The semi-truck's driver Quentin Williams, 31, of Athens was not injured in the collision.
Williams exited his truck and moved to the parking lot of a nearby gas station for a safety. Shortly after, he was joined by co-worker Robert White, and the two decided to walk over and check on the Chevy's driver Jasmine Littlejohn, 30, said the police.

As the two crossed the road, a Chevy Tahoe hit Williams and White, police said.
Paramedics arrived on scene and transported Williams and White to a local hospital. Williams, the semi-truck's driver, succumbed to his injures, but White survived and was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Littlejohn, the Chevy Malibu's driver, was also taken to a local hospital with serious injuries and is in critical condition, said the ACCPD, while her passenger was treated for minor injuries.
Police identified the driver of the Tahoe and said that an investigation into the incident is ongoing. They have requested anyone with information on the incident to contact Sergeant Robert Schulte at 762-400-7093 or via email at [email protected].
