A Hampton man died Monday morning after his car struck a tractor trailer on Ga. Highway 279 near Imperial Way shortly after midnight.

Vance R. Johnson, 44, was driving south on Hwy. 279 when his vehicle crossed into the northbound lanes and the path of a tractor trailer driven by Victor Soto, 46, of Bogart, according to sheriff’s deputies.

The crash was a head-on collision, and Johnson died at the scene, deputies said. The crash caused heavy damage to both vehicles.

Neither Soto nor a passenger in his truck were injured; they were wearing seatbelts. Johnson was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, deputies said.

The investigation is being conducted by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies are not expecting to file any charges related to the crash.

On Tuesday morning, a woman suffered multiple serious injuries in a three-car crash at Ga. Highway 74 and Wisdom Road in Peachtree City, police said.

Police shut down busy Hwy. 74 for a time to allow a medevac helicopter to land.

The woman was flown to Atlanta Medical Center, police said. The drivers of the two other vehicles had minor or no apparent injuries, police said.

Police were not releasing the woman’s name at press time Tuesday afternoon.

The crash appeared to have occurred when the woman’s Buick LeSabre left Wisdom Road attempting to turn left onto the southbound lanes of Hwy. 74, police said. The woman apparently pulled into the path of a Dodge Ram pickup that was going north on Hwy. 74, and the two vehicles collided, police said.

The woman’s car then entered the median and apparently struck a Ford F-250 Georgia Power truck that was stopped in the southbound turn lane preparing to turn left onto Wisdom Road, police said.

The intersection is in the process of having a traffic signal installed.
