Dooly Co., GA (April 19, 2025) – A five-car crash caused three people to sustain injuries in Dooly County on April 17. Multiple responders were sent to the scene on Thursday on Interstate 75 near milepost 117.
Two tractor-trailers were involved in the incident, along with three passenger vehicles. According to the Georgia State Patrol, a semi-truck was headed north on the interstate in the outside lane when it rear-ended a Volkswagen pulling a camper. Afterward, it traveled into the inside lane, where it struck a Honda CRV and a Toyota Highlander. It then traveled into the middle lane, where it hit another tractor-trailer. Three people were hurt in the accident and transported to local hospitals for treatment. Police in Dooly County continue to investigate the circumstances of the accident.
We hope for the swift and complete recovery of the injured victims.
Georgia Tractor-Trailer Collisions
Georgia sees over 300,000 traffic accidents every year, with hundreds of crashes occurring daily on highways, rural roads, and city streets. These accidents lead to more than 130,000 injuries and over 1,000 fatalities annually, placing Georgia among the states with the highest collision rates in the country.
If you’ve been injured in a car crash, seeking legal help can make a crucial difference. A personal injury attorney can guide you through the claims process and help you pursue compensation for mounting medical bills, lost wages, and the emotional toll of the accident.
Negligent driving remains the top cause of collisions both in Georgia and nationwide. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that more than 92% of all traffic crashes are the result of human error—most commonly speeding, texting behind the wheel, impaired driving, or driving while fatigued. These preventable acts can leave victims with life-changing injuries, chronic pain, and ongoing financial strain.
Tractor-trailer and semi-truck crashes are especially devastating. Due to their immense size and weight, these vehicles can cause catastrophic damage in the event of a collision. In 2022 alone, nearly 6,000 people in the U.S. lost their lives in accidents involving large trucks, and thousands more were seriously hurt. When passenger vehicles are involved in crashes with tractor-trailers, occupants often suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, internal injuries, or broken bones—injuries that can take months or years to recover from.
