First responders flooded across the river en masse Wednesday afternoon following a motorcycle accident on Deepstep Road.
The driver, identified by the Georgia State Patrol as Thomas Tollison of Milledgeville, 37, lost control of his bike before striking a divider and then a tree, according to the preliminary accident report. No other vehicles were involved.
The previous afternoon, meanwhile, another Baldwin County resident also lost their life in a traffic accident, this time while riding a bicycle outside of Eatonton. Teresa Rose, 56, was identified as the deceased. Rose was struck by a van near the corner of Godfrey Road and Glades Road, located to the west of the Eatonton bypass. The driver of the van was arrested and charged with misdemeanor homicide by vehicle, failure to give right of way, as well as failure to give a turn signal.
It was the second negligent cycling fatality in middle Georgia in less than a week, according to this article on WMAZ. Added the article: “According to Georgia's bicycle laws drivers are required to keep a 3-foot distance from cyclist when passing them.”
Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 90 and low of 72 degrees. Partly Cloudy for the morning, clear overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
