On Saturday night, April 2, a single vehicle wreck killed a man in Brooks County.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, the accident happened at around 10.15 p.m. when a white 2007 Ford F250 which was being driven by 39 year old Curtis Lanier James, of Tallahassee, Fla. was traveling east on Dry Lake Road near Simpson Road in Quitman. Investigators said he was driving too fast for the conditions of the roadway and while negotiating a curve he traveled off the shoulder, hit a mailbox, and then over corrected which caused the vehicle to spin across Dry Lake Road. The pickup then went off the other shoulder, hit a tree then flipped ending up on its roof.
James, who was not wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators with the Georgia State Patrol suspect alcohol may have been a contributing factor but are awaiting a toxicology report.
