MOULTRIE, Ga. — Law enforcement is investigating two fatal vehicle crashes over the long Christmas holiday in Colquitt County.

A 60-year-old man died Thursday, Dec. 21, following an accident, Colquitt County Coroner Verlyn Brock said Tuesday. Brock said officials are waiting for family members to arrive to give a positive identification.

The man was riding a motor scooter that was struck by another vehicle, Brock said.

The Georgia State Patrol post in Thomasville investigated the wreck, but their office staff remained on holiday Tuesday. Calls were transferred to the Americus post, which said the wreck happend on Tallokas Road at Cook Road.

The weekend’s second fatality was John Mike Copeland, driver of a vehicle that overturned on Funston-Sigsbee Road on Christmas Eve.

Brock said the wreck happened about 9:45 p.m. Sunday and Copeland was pronounced dead at 3:22 a.m. Monday at Colquitt Regional Medical Center.

He said an unidentified passenger was transported to a hospital in Tallahassee. Without the patient’s name, the hospital cannot provide any information on his or her condition.

The Georgia State Patrol is believed to have investigated both wrecks, but officials were still out on holiday Tuesday, so no report on either was immediately available.
