Georgia State Patrol Seeks Public Assistance in Fatal Tift County Crash Investigation

Georgia State Patrol (GSP) is seeking urgent public assistance in a critical investigation regarding a fatal crash that took place in Tift County on February 7, 2024, at 4:01 AM.

The incident occurred on I-75 Northbound at mile marker 54, where an unidentified white male, believed to be in his mid-30s to early 40s, lost his life after being struck by a tractor-trailer.

Key details from the investigation include:

  • The male victim is described as having a small build, with dark hair and a beard.
  • Video footage from the tractor-trailer’s dashcam captured the male emerging from behind a parked vehicle on the shoulder and entering the path of the tractor-trailer.
  • However, the parked vehicle, which could provide crucial clues, was not present at the scene when first responders arrived.

Despite extensive efforts, GSP Troopers have been unable to identify the male victim or the vehicle involved in the tragic crash. GSP Post 13 Tifton is appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident, has information about the male victim, or has seen the vehicle in question to come forward.

Authorities stress that no detail is too small, and any information could significantly contribute to bringing closure to this investigation and connecting the male victim with his loved ones.

The public is urged to share this information widely within their communities to reach as many individuals as possible.
