GSP Investigating Serious Motorcycle Crash:
The Georgia State Patrol is investigating an early Saturday morning motorcycle crash that left two people seriously injured in Gordon County. Troopers responded just after 8 a.m. on January 3 to Highway 136 near Freeman Road in the Resaca area, where a 2017 Harley-Davidson left the roadway. Investigators say the driver, 60-year-old Russell Victor of LaFayette, was traveling too fast for conditions. Both the driver and a passenger were taken to Hamilton Medical Center before being transferred to Erlanger Medical Center and Erlanger Children’s Hospital. Their conditions remain unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.
Students Return as Flu Cases Rise:
Calhoun City and Gordon County school students return to campus tomorrow following the holiday break as flu activity continues to increase across Georgia. Health officials encourage preventive measures such as getting a seasonal flu shot, washing hands frequently, covering coughs and sneezes, staying home when sick, and regularly disinfecting commonly touched surfaces to help limit the spread of illness.
