Early on the morning of July 5, 2008, a car carrying three young women to a party in Decatur was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver hurtling down Interstate 20 in Douglas County after he had spent the night drinking heavily at a Moreland Avenue strip club. Both drivers died in the fiery crash, along with one of the passengers; the third woman was hospitalized with serious injuries.
Last week, in a verdict the defense lawyer said will be appealed, a DeKalb County jury ordered the owners of Club Blaze to pay $1.75 million to the estate and two young daughters of Fatima Bird, who was 22 when the Pontiac Sunfire she was driving was demolished in the 1:45 a.m. collision with a Lincoln Continental driven by 41-year-old Otis South.
