In many areas of the country, driving can be very hazardous at any time of the day or night. Some of the major cities in Georgia have at least one car accident with serious injuries or fatalities during the 24 hours of any given day. A late-morning car accident resulted in the death of a 37-year-old driver and the arrest of the man who caused it. Police reports stated a 25-year-old man was nearing an intersection when the driver in front of him slammed on the brakes.

He then collided with a sedan headed straight toward him. The driver of the sedan did not survive due to the severity of his injuries. Police arrested the younger man with…

When police conclude their investigation into a car accident, they will sometimes find the facts do not support the story given to them by the offender.

Police found an infant in the man's vehicle…

Vehicular crashes are attributed to numerous causes. Among some explanations given over the years as to why a car accident happens are because a driver consumed a substance that alters reflexes and perception, was just plain negligent, or had some type of medical episode that caused him or her to lose control of the wheel. A student at a Georgia university was seriously injured in a car accident involving four vehicles. The 18-year-old driver of a Chevrolet compact car was traveling near the school when he sideswiped two vehicles parked in designated places along the side of the road. The student was standing near the rear of a third parked vehicle and was injured when the Chevrolet crashed into that vehicle.
