Woman killed by rock thrown from DOT mower

sad

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A woman who had moved to Georgia after Hurricane Katrina was killed Wednesday in west Georgia after a state DOT mower struck a large rock and sent it flying through the windshield of a car and into the back seat where she was a passenger.

A LaGrange woman sitting in the backseat of this car was killed after a state DOT mower struck a large rock and sent it flying through the windshield of the car.
Troup County Sheriff's Deptartment A LaGrange woman sitting in the backseat of this car was killed after a state DOT mower struck a large rock and sent it flying through the windshield of the car.

Troup County Coroner Jeff Cook identified the woman as Annie Lee, 58, of LaGrange. Cook said Lee had moved to the area in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

"She comes up here to make a new life after Katrina and then this happens ... it's just unreal," Cook told the AJC. He said Lee's family would be taking her body back to Louisiana for burial.

DAMN!!! I've always been one to switch lanes to get from behind them damn mowers and even tractor trailer trucks that have those damn rocks falling and dropping all over the damn place but to see the size of the hole in the windshield...SMH are they sure it was just a "rock" that went through that car? Looks like a big piece of cement went through it instead. confuse

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I am not sure if the DOT has any liability. The general rule is as long as the act is being done with in the general guidelines then there is no liability. That unless there was neglance or intent then there is no liability.
