DOUGHERTY COUNTY, GA -- Albany Fire Department and Dougherty County Police are on the scene of a car crash at the corner of South County Line road and Spring Flats road.

He t-boned a cotton truck that was travelling down Spring Flats road. The cotton truck continued on Spring Flats road before losing control and flipping over into a ditch. The driver of the cotton truck climbed out and was transported by EMS to a local hospital.
