GSP: Man arrested after fatal Glynn County crash

GYLNN COUNTY, Ga. (WSAV) — A Jacksonville man was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide after a fatal Glynn County crash early Wednesday morning, a state patrol spokesperson confirmed with WSAV. The crash occurred around 5:44 a.m. on Interstate 95 North at mile marker 42. Two vehicles were involved, a Hino box truck and a Toyota Matrix. The Hino failed to maintain its lane of travel and struck the Matrix, which was parked on the shoulder, a Georgia State Patrol (GSP) spokesperson reported. The driver of the Matrix was ejected and died due to his injuries. The Hino, which was driven by 35-year-old Leinier Gonzalez Caraballo of Jacksonville, Florida, then went into the center median, hit the guardrail and overturned. Caraballo reportedly sustained minor injuries from the crash. The passenger of the Matrix, 21-year-old Joel Rivera of Jacksonville, Florida, was also injured. Rivera was transported to an area hospital for treatment. Caraballo was arrested on scene for vehicular homicide in the second degree, a GSP spokesperson said. All northbound lanes and the left southbound lane of Interstate 95 were closed for approximately four and a half hours. The entire roadway was re-opened around five hours after the crash occurred.
