Two people were taken to West Georgia Medical Center after their Ford F-150 was struck by a log truck about 7:40 a.m. Monday at the intersection of New Franklin and Waugh roads.

The Georgia State Patrol said the driver of the Alabama-licensed Ford truck paused at the Waugh Road stop sign before pulling in front of the log truck traveling north on New Franklin Road.

The driver of the log truck, an employee of Wright Timber LLC in LaGrange, tried unsuccessfully to stop and get out of the Ford truck’s path.

The two people in the Ford truck, a man and his grandson, were hauling yard equipment in a trailer behind the vehicle, leaving various tools scattered in the road after the wreck.

Onlookers said the two in the Ford didn’t look badly injured. The driver’s airbag deployed, but not one where his grandson was sitting.

The driver of the log truck wasn’t injured.

The names of those involved were unavailable.

Traffic was snarled as crews worked to clear the wreckage.
