Police are investigating after a man was killed after driving off of I-75 near the Fayette-Madison County line Saturday afternoon.
The accident happened at about 3:15 p.m. at mile marker 98 in the southbound lanes. Police say it appears that the driver was traveling at a high rate of speed, somehow lost control, went off the road and through a tree line and ultimately went down a cliff.
