| Notes |
- A Blackshear man died and a Waycross man was injured in a two vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 84 just east of Blackshear Monday afternoon.
Rodney Sauls, 47, died at Mayo Clinic Health System in Waycross from injuries he sustained in the 5:30 p.m. accident.
John Brigman, 57, of Waycross, was also taken to MCHS in Waycross by Pierce County EMS. His condition was not available at press time Tuesday morning.
According to a preliminary accident report by the Georgia State Patrol, Brigman was driving a Ford Explorer on U.S. Highway 84 near Son Thomas Road between Blackshear and Patterson. He reportedly crossed the center line and collided head on with Sauls’ Chevrolet Silverado.
The accident investigation has been turned over to the specialized collision reconstruction team (SCRT).
Trooper Sherman McClain was in charge of the initial investigation.
Meanwhile, friends are trying to cope with Sauls’ sudden death. Many referred to Sauls as a nice, Godly, family man.
Sauls was the owner of Economic Pest Control of Blackshear.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete and will be announced later by Pearson-Dial Funeral Home of Blackshear.
