“I watched them burn”: Mother’s agony as daughter, 17, and granddaughter, 2, die in fiery crash (PICTURED)

A 17-year-old high school student and her young daughter have been killed in a fiery crash as the victim’s own mother watched in horror from another car on a busy Georgia highway.

Gabriella Faiz and her 2-year-old daughter, Jada, were pronounced dead Thursday night after their stalled Honda was struck on Interstate 285 at Georgia 400 ramp in Sandy Springs by two different vehicles.

Faiz’s mother, Al-Quiyamah Faiz, was driving in another car behind her daughter, who had just picked up the Honda from a mechanic earlier that evening.

At around 9.30pm, the mother called the 17-year-old, who complained to her that the car stalled again while they were running errands.

‘I said, “OK, stay right there. I’m going to get off the highway and come back around,”’ she recalled to the station WSBTV. ‘And when I looked around, all I could see was orange flame.’

According to Al-Quiyamah Faiz, she had told Gabriella to stay in the right, slower lane, but the girl did not heed her advice and ended up in the fast lane.

In a matter of minutes, two vehicles smashed into the Honda, sparking a fire that engulfed the vehicle.

‘I watched my daughter and granddaughter burn in the middle of the night,’ an emotional Al-Quiyamah told the Atlanta Journal Constitution on the phone Friday.

Both Gabriella and Jada burned to death despite attempts made by responding police officers to pull the victims from the fiery wreckage.

Gabriella lived in Douglasville and attended Lithia Springs High School. Her baby daughter, who just begun talking and would have turned 2 on Monday.
