UPDATE: Name released of Florida teen killed in wreck
The name of a Florida teenager killed Sunday in a wreck on Interstate 75 near Perry has been released.
The victim was identified as 18-year-old Christi Denise Johnson, said Laswanda Davis, a Georgia State Patrol communications analyst. The victim’s name was initially withheld pending notification of family.
Johnson was driving a large GMC truck with a camper connected when she traveled off the road and flipped the camper, according to GSP Sgt. Leamon Hughes.
Passenger Ryan Edward Reithoffer, 20, was transported to The Medical Center of Central Georgia and was expected to recover from his injuries, Davis said.
The accident happened between 2 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. near mile marker 135 and led to traffic being interrupted on I-75 for at least six hours. The wreck initially led to all three lanes being closed, with one being reopened about 3:30 p.m. Traffic wasn’t clear until about 9 p.m.
