Georgia Truck Accident Lawyers Blog

This week Fox News reported on a hit-and-run tractor trailer accident accident that occurred on Wednesday morning at about 9;00 a.m. on Interstate 85 northbound near Newnan, Georgia. The victim, Joshua Chapman, age 25, was travelling in the lane between the concrete median wall and a tractor trailer truck. As he was driving northbound, the tractor trailer swerved over and ground its tires into the side of this car. As a result, his car struck the median wall and then crashed on the other side of the highway. Chapman was transported to the hospital with back injuries. Unfortunately, the tractor trailer kept going and has yet to be identified.
