Hall County man killed in crash on I-80

A Hall County man died after his car crashed into a semitrailer truck on Interstate 80 near Aurora Monday night, according to authorities. 

Hamilton County Attorney Mike Powell said the man was driving his Toyota Corolla west on the interstate, 2 miles east of Aurora when the car rear-ended a semitruck that had slowed because of a traffic backup. Powell said the car failed to slow down, striking the semi in a collision that left the man dead. 

Powell said the crash happened about 7 p.m. Monday. The man's name has yet to be released, pending notification of relatives.
