PUTNAM COUNTY, Ga. — One person is dead after a wreck on Highway 16 in Putnam County Thursday.
According to Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills, the two vehicles involved were an 18-wheeler and a Volkswagen Tiguan.
He says evidence shows the driver of the Tiguan crossed the center line and hit the truck head-on. They believe the driver might have had a medical emergency, based on medication that was in the car at the scene of the accident.
Wayne Boughman Dennis of Union, South Carolina, was driving the Brown Packing Company 18-wheeler. Sills says he is okay.
The driver of the Volkswagen did not survive the accident. Sills later identified him as 33-year-old Mark Shannon.
