Accident Injures Three

A mid-day accident at the intersection of US 19 North and Harp Road injured three Upson County residents Tuesday.

Drexel Daniel, 64 of 118 Waller Road was life-flighted to the Atlanta Medical Center by air ambulance with a severe leg injury. Daniel underwent surgery this morning and was alert enough afterward to recognize family members, he was then placed in a medically induced coma to aid in his recovery and pain management.

Daniel was driving a 1966 Oldsmobile 442 northbound on US 19 when he apparently ran the red light and collided with a 2011 Toyota Camry driven by Henry Avery Herring, 73, of 983 Daniel Road.

Herring was attempting to make a left turn from Harp Road onto US 19 when his vehicle was struck in the driver’s door. Herring and his wife Sandra Franklin Herring were both transported to the Upson Regional Medical Center by EMS.

Trooper First Class Brad Thompson investigated for Post 26, GSP.
