Another serious crash on I 59 Monday afternoon

TRENTON, Georgia (WDEF) – A tractor trailer and another vehicle were involved in a crash on I 59 below Trenton Monday afternoon.

This is the third serious crash on that stretch of interstate since Friday.

They then heard that the vehicle hit an 18 wheeler heading north at mile marker Number 9.

Two people in the vehicle suffered minor injuries, but a third was ejected.

That victim has been flown to a local hospital.

The intestate was shut down for awhile for the air ambulance.

One lane of traffic is now open.
