FATALITY:
A Griffin woman was killed in a one-car accident on Highway 19 (Georgia 3) at Deer Lake Road near Mt. Gilead Church in Pike County during Monday night’s storms.
Maj. Doug Morris of the Pike County sheriff’s office said deputies arrived to find the car overturned in a ditch on the northbound side of the road. Five persons were in the vehicle, he said, but some had been ejected
.
Ginger Mae Randolph, 41, was pronounced deceased at the scene, said Morris. The other occupants had Hampton and Morrow addresses.
Two people were taken to Spalding Regional in critical condition and were later transferred to Atlanta Medical Center. As of Tuesday morning they remained hospitalized, Morris said. Two more were taken to Upson Medical Center, treated for minor injuries and released.
Morris said deputies were unable to determine how the wreck occurred because of darkness and rain conditions. The investigation is ongoing.
SOUTHERN RIVERS:
SRE crews have been working through the night to restore power and have reduced the number of outages from roughly 8000 to about 4600. The majority of the outages are located in Lamar, Meriwether, Monroe, Pike and Spalding counties. Additional crews from Harper’s Tree Service, Snapping Shoals EMC in Covington and Sumter EMC in Americus joined our efforts early this morning. Plans are to continue working non-stop until power is completely restored as quickly and safely as possible. Phone lines are open at the office but members may still experience busy signals because of the volume of calls coming in. You can view the current outages on our live outage map http://68.208.12.169:82/ and use the zoom at the top left of the page to view street names to make sure your area is represented. We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation while our crews work diligently to restore power.
