UGA student, Loeffler staffer killed in crash

Wreck happened on I-16

Harrison Deal was scheduled to graduate from the University of Georgia in 2022: the 20 year-old staffer on Senator Kelly Loeffler’s campaign was killed in a fiery crash on Interstate 16 near Savannah. Police in Pooler say three other people were injured in the accident, which remains under investigation.

“Today, we lost a member of our “Kemp Strong” family and words cannot express how much Harrison Deal’s life, love and support meant to us. He was a person of deep faith, unmatched integrity, and incredible kindness. Harrison was the Kemp son and brother we never had,” Kemp said in a statement.

“Our prayers are with the Deal Family - and countless others - as they mourn the tragic loss of Harrison. He brought people together and made everyone feel important and special. 2020 has been marked by adversity, tragedy and pain. For the Kemp Family, weathering this storm will be the most difficult challenge yet.”
