Georgiagirl8382 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Acworth man hit, killed on I-75 By Heather Vogell The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 03/31/07 3:31 PM At least three vehicles struck an Acworth man who had abandoned his car and fled into the southbound lanes of I-75 after causing a crash in a northbound lane early Saturday, Cobb County police said. Travis Lee Chupp, 26, was pronounced dead at the scene. Chupp may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash, Cobb police spokesman Wayne Delk said. Chupp’s 1997 Honda Accord first rear-ended a 2002 Kia Sportage that had slowed because of congestion caused by roadwork north of Hickory Grove Road about 12:35 a.m., police said. The Honda then veered left and rolled down the embankment onto the wooded median. Chupp got out of the car and was talking to construction workers when he took off through the woods and into the southbound lanes, police said. The driver of the first vehicle to strike Chupp, Elia Nohemi Turcios-Trochez of Tucker, and three passengers were brought to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said. The driver and a passenger in the Kia Sportage were not injured. The investigation is continuing, but charges are not likely to be filed, Delk said. Link to post Share on other sites

Gizzmo Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I heard about his passing earlier tonight.....how heart breaking. I taught Travis Chupp in 7th grade. We stayed in touched for many years. I saw him last at Casey Weaver's funeral. I loved him so much. He will be greatly missed. I extend all my thoughts and prayers to his family, and friends. I am so very so sorry for this loss. I pray that we all look to God for comfort at this time. I am so sorry for all that knew and loved him more than myself, for I am heartbroken.

jp184 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I don't know what to say. I'm in shock. Lisa, if you read this I want you to know he was very much loved by my family. Remember the night of the blizzard and I was stuck with a bunch of thirteen year old boys. Travis being one of them. I last saw him when Casey passed away and he hugged me. He was such a good person and I think everyone that knew him loved him. I pray the Lord will give you and your family the strength to get through this. Link to post Share on other sites
