A memorial service will be held this weekend for a Rabun County man who died from injuries he sustained in a wreck on Burton Dam Road.
25-year-old James Matthew Foster of Tiger died New Year’s Day. He was fatally injured on December 30 when the car he was driving ran off the road in a curve and struck a group of mailboxes and a power pole near Limber Lost Trail.
State troopers investigating the crash charged him with DUI.
The wreck also injured two passengers in the car – Graeme McKinney Watson, 29, of Clarkesville, and Zoe Elizabeth Brown, 25, of Rabun Gap. Both were transported to the hospital with suspected serious injuries, the Georgia State Patrol reports. A third passenger, 24-year-old Christopher Michael Clarke of Clarkesville, sustained minor injuries but was not transported.
Foster’s family will hold a memorial service for him on Saturday, January 7, at 3 p.m. in the chapel at Hunter Funeral Home in Clayton.
