SOPERTON, Ga. — An elderly man died Friday afternoon after drifting into a tractor-trailer while driving on I-16.
According to Georgia State Patrol, 75-year-old Ollie Miller of Soperton was going west in the left lane of I-16 around 11:30 a.m.
GSP says Miller traveled into the right lane for an unknown reason and the rear right side of his car hit the front left side of the tractor-trailer.
Miller’s car went off the road onto the shoulder and overturned, ejecting him. He later died from his injuries at Fairview Park Hospital in Dublin.
The accident caused one lane of I-16W to close for about an hour.
