Multiple injuries, one critical condition
The Georgia State Patrol (GSP) is currently investigating a serious accident that occurred on Tuesday morning along U.S. Highway 19. According to the initial report, a Toyota SUV carrying four construction workers from LaGrange ran a stop sign at Linden Road before pulling out onto U.S. 19 directly into the path of an oncoming semi-truck from Florida.
The collision resulted in injuries for all individuals involved, including the four construction workers and the truck driver. Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene and transported them to nearby hospitals for medical treatment.
A GSP trooper who responded to the crash provided some details about the victims' conditions. One of the construction workers, identified as a male, sustained critical injuries and had to be airlifted to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for specialized care. The remaining injured individuals were taken by ambulance to Phoebe Hospital.
As authorities continue their investigation into this incident, it remains unclear why the Toyota SUV failed to yield right-of-way at the stop sign or if any other factors contributed to this unfortunate accident.
The Georgia State Patrol urges all drivers to exercise caution when approaching intersections and reminds everyone of their responsibility to adhere strictly to traffic laws in order to prevent such accidents from occurring.
