MOULTRIE, Ga. — A driver was released from the hospital late Monday or early Tuesday following a Saturday afternoon wreck on Old Adel Road.
Jessica Gehringer, 36, of Moultrie, was listed in stable condition on Monday afternoon at Colquitt Regional Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said, but she was released sometime thereafter.
Gehringer was the driver of a 2000 Ford Ranger pickup that crashed about 1 p.m. Saturday at 3893 Old Adel Road, the Georgia State Patrol said.
The truck was headed east on Old Adel when it ran off the south shoulder of the road, the GSP said. The driver overcorrected, and the truck crossed the roadway and went off on the north shoulder. It struck a mailbox with its driver’s side, crossed a private driveway and started to overturn. It then struck a tree with its driver’s side, rotated counter-clockwise and came to a final rest on the north side of the roadway, facing north.
Gehringer, who the GSP said did not have a seat belt on, was charged with failure to maintain lane.
