A motor vehicle accident tragically claimed the life of Austin Jeremy Tatum and seriously injured two other Wednesday evening, January 30, 2019 according to published reports.

According to AccessWDUN.com, Georgia State Patrol indicates that “Austin Jeremy Tatum, 32, was a passenger in a 2003 Dodge Neon that careened into two other vehicles on Gaines Mill Road just north of Jim Sweet Road.”  According to GainesvilleTimes.com, the victim’s car crossed the centerline and struck another car, and continued heading in the wrong direction before striking another vehicle head-on.

Charges are currently pending against the driver of the Dodge Neon, according to The Times story.
