On Thursday, November 2, a head-on collision between a Chevy Cruze and a semi-truck on Highway 24/27 near Robbins resulted in the deaths of the two occupants of the Cruze, identified as Matthew McLennan and Nancy Williams. The incident, which took place near McDuffie Road, also involved a Dodge RAM. The cause for the Cruze's sudden lane change remains under investigation. The highway was closed for several hours for cleanup and examination, but the RAM and semi-truck drivers were uninjured.
