Young Driver Kills Self and Brother in Troup County Crash

Christopher Truitt, driving on a suspended learner's permit, drove off the road on Thursday while trying to pass another car.  His younger brother, just 17 years old, died while being transported to a nearby hospital.  A 17 year old backseat passenger was taken to West Georgia Medical Center.  Both passengers were students at Callaway High School, where the younger Truitt played on the varsity football team.  The family of the survivor will likely seek legal counsel regarding their rights in this situation.  If you or a family member have been injured by the negligence of another, please call our office 24 hours a day at 888-973-2540 (888-WRECK-404) for a free initial consultation.
