Garden City Accident Injures Chatham County Deputy Sheriff, Driver Charged

The driver of a pickup truck caused an accident in Chatham County that injured a sheriff, according to the WTOC website based in Savannah, Georgia.  The Garden City area collision occurred around 7:45 a.m. when deputy sheriff David Wilcox was traveling on Old Louisville Road on his way to work.  According to reports, a pickup truck failed to yield while navigating a turn onto Sharon Park Drive and caused the police cruiser to hit the truck.  Wilcox, along with three people from the truck, sustained injuries in the car accident and received transportation to the hospital for treatment.  WTOC reports that charges have been filed against the pickup truck driver.

Although the sheriff's cruiser struck the pickup, in this case, the accident was the fault of the truck driver for failing to yield while turning.  If you have been injured in an accident in which another driver's failure to yield caused you to crash into his or her vehicle, please feel free to call us with any questions you have regarding liability, your rights, or how to proceed.  We handle car accident cases with compassion and professionalism and will answer your questions for free.  770-577-3020.
