A distracted driver causes a multiple vehicle crash on I-75 Saturday afternoon.

It happened around mile marker 348. Sgt. Chris Harris with Georgia State Patrol says a man was driving down I-75 when he got distracted and pulled into the lane of a motorhome. Once he hit that, he then tried to get into the outside lane but instead, rear-ended a truck. That truck rear-ended another car, causing a chain- reaction crash involving two others. GSP says the driver is charged with driving without a valid license, failure to use due care, following too closely, failure to maintain lane and too fast for conditions. GSP says several people were injured but only minor injuries.
