I do not know whether the charges against the driver will hold up or not, but I imagine they are initially charging worst possible and then can reduce or drop later as story becomes clearer.
For those that are not familiar with the area, this is a VERY heavily traveled section of I75. It is one of the last exits before you reach I285 (the Atlanta bypass) and is scary crazy even if you know where you are going. Both the Prius and the RV were not from the area, so were likely searching for the correct lane. I know in the Atlanta area, there are lots of folks that switch lanes constantly, so there may have been more involved in causing the accident than just those two. I will say that in 2 years of living and daily driving in the area near that intersection, my DD had 4 accidents, and only one was she actually charged. She had only had 2 accidents (and 1 at fault) in the previous 10 years of city driving in other cities. I think that exit is one of the most frequent sites of crashes in the area.
