MOULTRIE — Colquitt County Sheriff’s Deputy and School Resource Officer at Okapilco Elementary School, Abbie Tucker, is in critical condition after a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Veterans Parkway Tuesday morning.

Tucker was in her marked patrol vehicle at the intersection of Veterans Parkway South and Southside Drive. According to a Facebook post from the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office, it is believed that she failed to yield the right of way after stopping at the stop sign and pulled out into the path of an oncoming semi truck.
