Sandersville, GA (September 9, 2019) – On Wednesday, September 4, police responded to the scene of a train accident that took place on the George J. Lyons Parkway in Sandersville.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, the collision took place when the driver of a tractor-trailer did not realize that a train was headed in his direction and he attempted to drive over the tracks. The train was headed approximately 19 mph and struck the tractor-trailer.
At the time, the truck had been carrying vehicle batteries and caused acid to spill onto the roadways, prompting Hazmat to the scene of the collision.
