TIFTON — A Tifton resident was killed and two other people injured Monday in a fatal road accident.
Around 4:10 a.m., troopers headed to Tifton Eldorado Road near Hillside Drive on a report of a two-vehicle crash, a Georgia State Patrol statement said.
An investigation showed a Dodge Journey was heading south on Tifton Eldorado Road while a Dodge Dakota was heading north on the same road. The Journey failed to maintain its lane and hit the Dakota; the Journey’s driver — Sequoyah Johnson, 21, of Tifton — was pronounced dead at the scene, the statement said.
A passenger in the same car was seriously injured and taken to a local hospital for treatment, while the Dakota’s driver was also injured and taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, the state patrol said.
