A driver crashed a Nissan Versa twice Sunday afternoon – once on Raccoon Bridge Road and again a short time later on Old Axson Road. The second crash pinned the driver under the vehicle, resulting in serious injuries that required an Air Evac chopper to transport him to a trauma center for treatment.
The driver has not been identified.
According to witnesses, the Versa ran off of Raccoon Bridge Road and into a ditch. It suffered little damage and continued on its way. A little while later, the Versa crashed again, this time much more seriously. The vehicle overturned in a ditch on Old Axson Road not far from McKinnon Road. The driver suffered serious injuries and had to be extracted.
An ambulance took him to Satilla Elementary School, where an Air Evac helicopter landed in the hay field across the road. He was loaded into the helicopter and transported for treatment.
The accident remains under investigation.
