NEWTON COUNTY – A single-vehicle crash late Friday morning shut down I-20 near exit 93 (Hazelbrand Rd) at mile marker 94. 

According to Newton County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO), an eastbound driver – who was not immediately identified – lost control of the vehicle and veered off the roadway into the median. The vehicle, a white van, flipped multiple times, ejecting the driver.

The NCSO said the driver was airlifted to a nearby hospital in critical condition. 

One passenger, who was also not identified, was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.
