Trucker Has Narrow Escape
(WSB Radio) The Georgia Department of Transportation has stopped all work on the Highway 92 Overpass near I-20 in Douglasville, after a man is nearly killed by a swinging cable.
Veteran truck driver Herman Griggs tells Channel 2 Action News he was on his routine route to Kennesaw, going under the Highway 92 Overpass, when he noticed a cable dangling in the air.
"I saw what I thought was a power cable in front of me dancing. The truck in front of me made it. I was braking pretty hard, and all of a sudden the windshield just exploded in my face," said Griggs.
He says had the cable hit a few inches closer, he would probably have been killed.
"I'll be just thanking the Lord that I'm all right," said Griggs.
Industrial Painting, Inc. had been painting the Overpass. The D-O-T thinks the cable became entangled in the cable. Work won't resume until the investigation is complete.
