| UPS,
trash trucks collide on Hwy. 54
By JOHN
MUNFORD
No one was injured when a trash truck rear-ended a UPS truck on Ga. Highway 54 West near Lake View Lane Monday afternoon. The driver of the trash truck, Freddick Vinson of Thomaston, was cited for following too close, said Dep. E.S. Ward of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department. The wreck tied up traffic for almost an hour, he added. Vinson was in the eastbound lane driving a truck owned by Waste Management of Atlanta when the UPS truck, driven by Terry Powell of Fayetteville, attempted to turn right onto a private driveway, Ward said. Vinson's truck rear-ended the UPS truck, causing it to go off the road and roll over onto its side, the deputy said. Both drivers were wearing seatbelts at the time, according to the report.
