The Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS) is urging drivers to take extra caution when entering roadways after a major two-vehicle crash involving commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). The incident occurred last week in Wilkinson County, prompting Georgia DPS to investigate the scene. According to Georgia DPS, the CMV with the enclosed trailer failed to yield to the CMV with the dump trailer, resulting in a serious collision.

While there is no information yet regarding any injuries sustained in the crash, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices and the potential consequences of reckless driving. When entering a roadway, drivers must remain vigilant and aware of other drivers' movements. It is essential to give other drivers enough time and space to react to your movements to prevent accidents on the road.
The Georgia DPS is calling on all drivers to exercise caution and responsibility behind the wheel to prevent accidents and keep the roads safe for everyone. Remember, a moment of carelessness can lead to devastating consequences, so it is always best to prioritize safety when driving.
