Columbus, GA (November 11, 2018) – In Columbus, one person was confirmed to have lost their life in a serious rollover accident on Interstate 185. Muscogee County Police and other responders investigated the accident scene.
The fatal accident allegedly involved two vehicles. Photographs at the scene showed one vehicle sitting on the highway, while another was rolled over on the side of the road, its back-end up on the guardrail.
The driver of the yellow Ford pickup truck that rolled over was identified as 27-year-old Mitchell Lee Myles. He was pronounced dead around 30 minutes after the accident took place.
Myles had rear-ended a vehicle in front of him when the accident occurred. Nobody was injured in that vehicle. However, the event was so forceful that it caused Myles’ vehicle to lose control and strike the guardrail, tossing the vehicle over.
Bumper-to-bumper traffic resulted following the accident. Police continue to investigate.
We would like to extend our sincere condolences to the friends and family of Mitchell Lee Myles and wish the family comfort and peace as they go through the difficult process of grieving the loss of a loved one.
