A Glenville man is in fair condition in an area hospital this week after he crashed the oil tanker truck he was driving into the back of another tractor trailer on Interstate 95.
Wayne Edward Martin, 54, was traveling southbound at about 7:30 a.m. March 15 when he crashed into the other tractor trailer near mile marker 13. Martin sustained injuries to his face and head and was flown by air ambulance to Shands Hospital, Jacksonville, Fla.
The second driver, 45-year-old John Donkor, was treated and released from Southeast Georgia Medical Center, Camden Campus.
T.M. Cameron, a senior trooper with Georgia State Patrol, said officers had to reroute traffic around the accident.
“Due to the oil and debris that was in the roadway, the interstate was shut down about four and a half hours,” he said.
Cameron said the cause of the accident is still under investigation by Georgia State Patrol.
