A Toccoa man was sent to the hospital after a Georgia State Patrol car ran into the city-owned truck he was driving
Pictures sent to Now Habersham show a patrol vehicle with the front end smashed in. Sgt. Luke Mize with GSP Post 7 in Toccoa says the wreck happened around 4 p.m. Thursday, August 4.
“A Georgia State Patrol vehicle was westbound on GA 17 approaching GA 106. The patrol vehicle entered the intersection on a red signal and struck a white ford truck owned by the city of Toccoa,” he says.
Mize identified the at-fault driver as Trooper First Class Greer. He says Greer was not responding to a call when the wreck happened. No charges are pending and TFC Greer remains on the job.
“The crash will go before our crash review board to determine any department action,” says Sgt. Mize.
Christopher Fulbright, 47, was driving the 2015 Ford Superduty truck Greer hit. Stephens County EMS transported Fulbright to the hospital for complaints of injuries. Greer, too, complained of injuries but was not transported, according to information provided by the state patrol.
