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.
