A Mike Floyd dump truck crashed off the road this Monday and came to rest on the train tracks off U.S. 27 North.

According to Georgia TFC Mark Marchant, the truck’s front right tire blew as it was passing Mt. Zion Church Road. The truck driver lost control of the vehicle as it smashed into a ditch and flipped on top of the train tracks.

“His tire blew, traveled into the east ditch, struck a tree and overturned on the driver’s side, coming to final rest on the train tracks,” Marchant said.

The driver was in critical condition and was transported via helicopter to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.

Traffic on Hwy. 27 North and South was delayed for up to 45 minutes while EMS staff hurried to rescue the injured driver.

Miller County, Decatur County Sheriff’s Office, Decatur County EMS and Decatur County Fire and Rescue responded to the accident.
