SUV Hits Truck Driver on Interstate 95
GA–A fire on a tractor-trailer seriously injured one man along Interstate 95 north in Chatham County. It happened Tuesday morning near mile marker 94, just north of where 204 and I-95 intersect.
Savannah-Chatham police say the truck driver noticed his back brakes were on fire and pulled over into the emergency lane to try to extinguish the fire. A man heading to work in an SUV didn’t see the truck driver and slammed into him.
Southside firefighters and EMS rushed to the scene along with Savannah-Chatham police to block off the area. Crews put out the fire and rushed the truck driver, identified as 52-year-old James Williams Glenn, to Memorial Health with severe leg injuries.
The northbound lanes on I-95 near 204 were closed while crews cleaned up the accident. All lanes reopened around 7am.
Glenn remains in serious condition.
No charges have been filed.
