A pregnant woman and a child are among the four dead after a vehicle crash near Jonesboro, Georgia.

Police said four people were killed in the head-on collision on Highway 138 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Police said they responded to reports of a person passed out in a F-150 pickup truck just before 1:30 a.m.

When police knocked on the window the male driver woke up in a confused state and sped off down the highway, as per WSB-TV Atlanta.

Soon after, police received a report about a head-on crash involving the same pickup truck. The driver of the pick-up truck was pronounced dead at the scene.

A pregnant woman, a child, an adult man, and a dog were all traveling in the other vehicle.

They were all taken to the hospital, where the woman, her unborn baby and the other child died.

Police have launched an investigation and are working to notify the victims’ families.

Such a horrific tragedy and my heart goes out to the family of this woman and those children who died. Rest in peace.
