Carly Holubik Obituary-Death News; Carly Holubik Passes Away In Bloomingdale Car Crash
A tragic multi-vehicle crash on Thursday morning has claimed the life of a 32-year-old woman from Richmond Hill, Georgia. The fatal collision occurred in Bloomingdale near the intersection of Highway 80 and Highway 17, shortly after 7:30 a.m. Authorities from the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office responded swiftly to the scene, where they began a preliminary investigation into the incident.
According to officials with the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit, the crash involved a total of five vehicles—four commercial trucks and one passenger sedan.
The devastating chain-reaction collision began when a fully loaded concrete truck failed to stop and slammed into the back of a sedan that had been waiting at a red light, along with three other commercial vehicles.
The force of the impact resulted in a cascading series of collisions that left one vehicle, the small sedan, crushed and severely damaged. The driver of the sedan, who was later identified as Carly Holubik of Richmond Hill, tragically died at the scene from her injuries.
Authorities have stated that she was pronounced dead shortly after emergency responders arrived. Carly was the only fatality in the incident, though officials have not yet released information regarding any additional injuries sustained by other drivers or passengers involved.

Friends and loved ones describe Carly as a kind, hardworking woman with a vibrant personality and a strong love for family and community. Her sudden and heartbreaking loss has left a profound impact on those who knew her.
As the investigation continues, the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office is working to determine the exact cause of the crash, including whether driver error, brake failure, or other mechanical issues may have contributed to the accident.
The concrete truck involved in the initial impact was reported to be fully loaded, which may have played a role in its inability to stop in time. Investigators are also likely to examine the commercial vehicles’ maintenance records and driver logs as part of the ongoing effort to understand how the incident unfolded.
Officials have asked anyone who may have witnessed the crash or who may have relevant information to come forward. The Effingham County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit is urging those individuals to contact them at 912-754-3449 as the department continues its investigation.
Traffic along Highway 80 was significantly delayed for several hours following the crash, as law enforcement officers and emergency crews worked to clear the scene and gather evidence. Motorists were advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes while the investigation and cleanup were underway.
This devastating accident highlights the ongoing concerns about commercial vehicle safety on public roadways, particularly when it comes to large, heavily loaded trucks.
Authorities continue to stress the importance of routine vehicle inspections, driver training, and situational awareness—especially in high-traffic areas and intersections like the one where this crash occurred.
