Minivan Hits Disabled Semi in East Macon, Claiming 1 Life

EAST MACON, GA – A 44-year-old adult lost control of their minivan, causing them to slam into a disabled semi-truck and succumb to fatal wounds Wednesday. 

This collision happened before 10:30 a.m. at Finneydale Drive and Jeffersonville Road, according to The Telegraph. 

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, who responded to the scene, said the truck was disabled because they experienced a technical issue. As the truck driver was tending to the truck, leaving the truck hood open, that’s when they were struck by the oncoming minivan and sustained minor injuries in the process. 

The minivan driver, a Twiggs County resident, died at the scene.
