The crash happened in the early evening near 7th Street on Ocean Boulevard. Georgia State Patrol and The Brunswick News report that a 2019 Chevrolet Camaro was traveling south on the roadway and somehow entered the northbound lane. The driver of a northbound 2011 Dodge Caravan tried to swerve to avoid a collision with the Chevy, but the two vehicles crashed into each other. 

The front of the Chevy hit the passenger’s side of the Dodge about 170 feet from the intersection with 7th Street. The collision occurred near St. Simons Elementary School.
