67-year-old wife and mother, Patty Ann Cressaty said she no longer wanted to live so she got behind the wheel of her 2009 Porsche, got on the highway and headed northbound, according to Atlanta police. But Cressaty was on the southbound side of the highway, 15 miles from her home.
Other drivers called 911 to report the wrong-way driver Sunday morning around 11 a.m., but before officers could stop her, there was a fiery, three-vehicle crash.
A collision involving a wrong-way driver had all southbound lanes of the Interstate closed Sunday morning. As Cressaty drove against traffic in the emergency lane, she struck the concrete median, sending the Porsche spinning, witnesses told police. The Porsche struck a Toyota Camry and then a Nissan Sentra before it ignited, police said.
