Georgia Car Accidents
Each year, families in Thomson and across McDuffie County are devastated by fatal car accidents that claim lives far too soon. Though Thomson is a small community, it is not immune to the tragic consequences of motor vehicle collisions—especially on rural roads like Cobham Road and major thoroughfares that connect to the broader Georgia highway system.
Georgia consistently ranks among the top states for deadly traffic crashes, with over 1,000 fatalities reported statewide in 2022 alone. Sadly, many of these tragic losses occur in communities just like Thomson. The most common causes? Speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, and driver fatigue. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 90% of crashes are the result of human error—meaning most of them are entirely preventable.
