A 23 year old woman was fatally injured in Floyd County, Georgia on Monday of this week – that, following a collision with an 18-wheeler in Armuchee.

Reports say Shelby Dowdy was traveling south on Floyd Springs Road, when she, according to a witness, failed to stop at the stop sign on Highway 156, and as a result her 2020 Toyota Corolla was struck by the tractor trailer around 8:00am.

According to the Georgia State Patrol report, Dowdy’s vehicle rotated clockwise and left the roadway.  The tractor-trailer also left the road and went into a large ditch coming to rest on the passenger side after rolling.  The driver, 51 year old Kenneth Craig of Lafayette, Georgia was transported to Floyd Medical Center for treatment.

That accident remains under investigation.
