A 23 year-old Georgetown driver is fighting for his life tonight at the hospital; his passenger, recovering there as well, after a bad wreck on Georgetown Road Thursday afternoon.

The accident happened at about 3 p.m. on Georgetown Road at Kearney Ridge Road. Police say witnesses tell them that a car that was traveling at a high rate of speed swerved when a tractor trailer pulled out onto Georgetown Road in the opposite direction. The driver of the car then lost control and slammed into two road signs, a rock wall, and then came to rest against a wood fence at the front entrance of a subdivision.

Police say neither person in the car was wearing a seat belt, and alcohol is not a suspected factor in the crash. The driver of the tractor trailer was not injured and the passenger of the car is in fair condition.
