ATLANTA — Newly released dashcam video sheds light on the moments before a DUI suspect, trying to elude state troopers, crashed his vehicle head-on into a family’s car.
The video shows Kahre Williams driving the wrong way along Spring Street in midtown Atlanta in the early hours of April 20, 2019.
At one point, he makes a U-turn, heads toward The Varsity and speeds through the intersection.

Williams eventually drives onto the downtown connector where he slams into two vehicles.
One of those vehicles was an SUV carrying five family members headed home to south Florida after a trip to Michigan.
A witness captured the horrific aftermath on cellphone video.
