State Patrol: Laurens Firefighter Caused I-16 Crash

Tuesday's crash on I-16 between a fire truck and an 18-wheeler was caused by a Laurens County firefighter, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

The wreck, which sent two people to the hospital late Tuesday, happened near mile marker 42 eastbound just outside Dudley in Laurens County.

The said emergency crews had to shut down at least some lanes. Those lanes reopened early Wednesday morning.

The two trucks caught fire after colliding.

Each driver, 51-year old Terry Lorenzo Williams from Savannah and 24-year old Dustin Edwards of Dublin, were taken to the hospital.

Edwards is a firefighter in Laurens County and was returning to his post at the time of the accident.

David Bryant of the Georgia State Patrol says the accident was caused when Edwards, who was in the right lane, cut across the left lane to try to turn around the median, which caused Williams' tractor trailer to strike the firetruck.

Chick-fil-A Reinvents Menu with Healthier Options

ATLANTA (USA Today) -- Chick-fil-A is trying - with some success - to turn the page.

Make that, pages.

The fast-food chain's image took a social-media pounding last year after its president said that Chick-fil-A supported the biblical definition of the family - interpreted by many gays and gay marriage supporters as a slap in the face.

Now, nearly a year later, the Atlanta chain - which surpassed KFC last year to become the nation's largest domestic fast-food chicken chain, with sales of $4.6 billion - on Tuesday will announce detailed plans to try to broaden its appeal to the crucial Millennial market, whose business it will need in order to continue broadening its national and, ultimately, international growth plans.
