When three men died in a single-vehicle crash Saturday moing on Interstate 75 in midtown Atlanta it left their friends devastated.
Andre Hilton says he was one of the last people to see his friends Cordel Fowler, 24, Adam Bailey, 33, and Esu Manzano, 36, before their car flipped onto Interstate 75 from the Spring Street ramp.
"I didn't really have an idea of how many people they touched until this happened," Hilton said.
Hilton said friends called Fowler "Corky" during his days as a student at Morehouse College.
"Corky would keep you laughing. He would bring life to all the parties," Hilton said.
He says Bailey was a well-known artist who performed at the Opera Nightclub.
"You blink your eye and all that changes in a matter of a second," Hilton said.
Investigators still don't know what caused the Audi carrying the three men to lose control and fall 50 feet onto the interstate.
Hilton says he last saw the trio leaving a nightclub in Midtown around 2 a.m.
About an hour later, the crash killed all three men on impact.
"Life without them will definitely be different. We will always remember them," Hilton said.
