Tragic Car Crash Takes life of one Georgia Man

By Jessica Smagacz

Independentmail reported recently that a man died yesterday as a result of a tragic car accident.

This car accident took the life of Terry A. Ramey, 42 of Clayton, Georgia.

Karl E. Addis, the Oconee County Coroner, said that Ramey was a passenger in the front seat of a car but he was not wearing his seat belt. He died of a head injury.

The car accident occurred on Unity Church road about three-tenths of a mile from Cleveland Pike Road.

The other details to this tragic car accident are currently not available.

Our thoughts are with Ramey's family and friends.

Do you know what do to if you are in a car accident? As our past post discussed, here is what you need to know if you are in a car accident:

Immediately call the police. When the police arrive, they know exactly what to do. The police will also create a police report after interviewing all witnesses and determining who is at fault.

Make sure everyone else is safe.

Gather information. You must get the other driver's information such as the vehicle's VIN number, insurance information, and license plate number.

Seek medical attention/help. Car accidents can cause serious injuries, even injuries that do not arise until much later after the car accident. It is important to see a doctor to evaluate your condition.

If you have a camera, take pictures of the cars involved in the accident.

Call/seek an attorney.

According to Ezine articles, there are several things you MUST not do after you are in a car accident:

Admit fault; leave the scene; wait for insurance companies to contact you or take too much time to call an attorney; sign anything without knowing what the papers say or means.
