SAVANNAH, GA (June 13, 2015) – The Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) is investigating a wreck on US Highway 80 on the Bull River Bridge which sent several people to the hospital.
The collision occurred at approximately 3:55 p.m. Dustin C. Kinser, 33, was heading towards Tybee Island in a white Ford Fusion. The car in front of Kinser slowed down for traffic that was stopped ahead.
