Truck breaks through steel guardrail, riding it into creek
Truck lands in Barnes Run after leaving bridge
Joe M. Garmon, 47, of Altizer Road, received injuries when his truck left a Barnes
Run bridge and landed in the creek Wednesday night.
He was taken to Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center after the 7:30 p.m. accident,
likely suffering from fractures and other injuries.
Garmon's truck reportedly met another vehicle about to cross a one-lane bridge
about one-half mile from the Barnes Run church and Altizer Road.
Garmon appeared to have veered to prevent a collision and crashed through a
heavy steel guardrail, riding it down into the creek.
Calhoun Sheriff Allen Parsons and Deputy Charlie Richards investigated the
accident.
