Confirmed Incident: July 2025 Intersection Crash

• A two-vehicle crash occurred around 5:30 p.m. on a Tuesday afternoon at the same intersection in southern Bulloch County. A semi-tractor trailer failed to stop at the all-way stop and struck a Honda Odyssey van. One female passenger died at the scene, and another was airlifted by Lifestar for emergency treatment. Their identities were not released at the time. Statesboro Herald

• The Georgia Department of Transportation had recently converted the intersection into a four-way stop—effective July 10, 2025—in response to a history of accidents in that area. Grice ConnectStatesboro Herald

Intersection Safety Upgrades

• The conversion to a four-way stop was part of broader safety efforts following numerous collisions at the site. This included installing:

  • Striping to eliminate left-turn lanes,

  • Stop signs with “All Way” plates,

  • Advance warning signs,

  • Stop bars, stop words painted on the pavement, and

  • Rumble strips. Grice ConnectStatesboro Herald

• These improvements were aimed squarely at reducing hazards—especially involving large commercial vehicles—but did not fully prevent the recent crash. Statesboro HeraldGrice Connect
