Rock Thrown By Georgia DOT Mower Kills Woman in Troup County
Posted on Jun 07, 2011
As reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on ajc.com, a woman was killed after a Georgia Department of Transportation mower hit a large rock and caused it to fly through the windshield of a car, hitting her in the back seat where she was a passenger.
The woman was identified as Annie Lee, 58, of LaGrange.
The incident happened in Troup County on US 27. The car was traveling behind a Bush Hog mower operated by the Georgia DOT. According to a Troup County Sheriff, the rock grazed the front passenger across the lips before striking Lee in the back seat and killing her instantly.
A similar incident occurred in Troup County several years ago when a prisoner on work detail was hit by a rock also thrown by a mower according to the Troup County Coroner.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Ms. Lee after this tragic loss.

- I fell from a friend's porch and dislocated my shoulder. My friend said he would let his home owner's insurance handle it and called them. They are telling me they only have $1,000.00 in medical payments coverage. I can not afford to pay for medical treatment out of my pocket. What should I do as my shoulder is bothering me a great deal?
- I was rear ended and went to the emergency room where they told me I had a herniated disk. How much is my case worth?
