A 20-year-old man from Dawson County was reported dead on Tuesday after his vehicle swerved off the Highway while in transit on a rainy afternoon in the Murrayville community located in Dawson County, California. The traffic incident happened on Tuesday, March 24.

The Georgia Highway Patrol responded to the fatal wreck on State Route 60, at about 12:35 pm. Patrol officers disclosed in a press release that the victim was driving a 2014 Toyota amid the heavy downpour, and the road was wet.

Investigators determined that the operator of the Toyota Tacoma was traveling through the southbound traffic lanes on GA. 60, Thompson Bridge Road, when he attempted a left turn upon approaching Bark Camp Road.

The Tacoma skidded out of control and crossed the centerline into the north traffic lane before sliding off the emergency stopping lane on the left edge of the wet road.

The vehicle kept moving through the Murrayville Auto Parts parking lot until it crashed into a parked semi utility trailer and got wedged underneath.

As a result of the crash, the Toyota was severely dented while the driver suffered fatal injuries. Paramedics responding to the traffic accident pronounced the victim dead at the scene after several failed attempts to resuscitate him.

The deceased has since been identified as Michael Buck, a 20-year-old resident of Dawson County.

Authorities revealed that the fatal victim was restrained by a seat belt at the time of the crash and the safety airbag deployed.

The Georgia State Patrol confirmed that no charges would be filed over the fatality.
