Macon, GA — Police say that Linwood Gannt was killed after colliding with a stopped 18-wheeler on Wednesday, August 27, 2014. The accident took place on Interstate 75, south of Hartley Bridge Road, around ten in the morning.
According to reports, Gannt was driving along 75 when he came upon the disabled truck. Gannt realized that the truck was disabled too late to avoid a collision. Bystanders, seeing that Gannt was injured and trapped inside his vehicle, began trying to free him.
Firefighters arrived on the scene and extricated Gannt from his vehicle. He was then transported to Medical Center of Georgia where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Witnesses report seeing him go limp at the scene.
A witness to the accident said she did not see any hazard lights on the 18-wheeler stopped on the interstate.
