Car flips on Black’s Bluff Road; driver nowhere to be found

-

Floyd County police were hunting into the night Saturday for whoever was behind the wheel of a Honda sedan that flipped on Black’s Bluff Road Saturday evening around 6:30.

According to Rome Floyd County Fire Department Battalion Chief Gene Proctor:

The driver appeared to have been coming into Rome and lost control of the vehicle on the east shoulder of the road. The car skidded for close to a hundred feet in the ditch before it flipped and landed upside down in the middle of the road.

By the time emergency personnel got to the scene, the driver and anyone else who may have been in the vehicle were gone. Fire rescue personnel used thermal imaging cameras to scan the woods on both sides of the road, but found no one.

Children’s shoes, sandals and other items were scattered outside of the vehicle among the wreckage and there was a child safety seat in the backseat of the vehicle. Doug Walker, associate editor
