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.

    Why don't people wear seatbelts? I know it can be an aggravation to do it at times, so you think "why bother", but you never know when they will be needed. Everyone out there please wear your seatbelts and be careful. Please buckle your children properly in an age appropriate seat that is installed correctly. You may be an excellent driver, take pride in that always, but you never know when the other guy is going to pull something stupid and leave you fighting for your life. I am praying for these two young men as we all should be, they have too much to live for.
