One such accident occurred in Milledgeville, Georgia. A head-on collision between a sedan and a pickup truck resulted in the injury of three individuals. The two drivers were injured and taken to a local hospital for treatment. The third individual, a passenger in the sedan, suffered fatal injuries and was airlifted to a hospital in Macon where he died.
The accident occurred when the driver of the sedan refused to stop when a trooper attempted to pull him over. According to authorities, the trooper was attempting to pull the car over for a seat belt violation. The driver of the car turned onto another road and collided with the truck when he attempted to pass another vehicle in a no-passing zone. Georgia State Patrol is still investigating the crash.
One person’s attempt to avoid a traffic ticket and fine for not wearing a seat belt resulted in a much worse fate for him and his passenger. Georgia residents who are victims of a car accident like this one know how heavily the loss of a loved one can weigh on the entire family. Victims of these accidents and their families could possibly benefit greatly from seeking the advice of an attorney. These benefits may include compensation for damages to property, medical bills, or even funeral costs.
