Man from Georgetown dies after being injured in overpass collision

A man who was critically injured following a collision between a tractor-trailer and an overpass in Georgetown has sadly passed away. Attorneys representing the family shared that on September 9, 42-year-old Jonathon Morgan succumbed to his injuries while in the ICU. The Morgan family's lawyers reported that Jonathon was surrounded by loved ones as he fought through the intensive care unit. In a statement, the victim's family described Jonathon as a devoted man, deeply committed to his faith, church, and family roles. They expressed how his absence has left a profound void in their lives and the lives of those who knew him. The incident occurred on September 2 when an 18-wheeler carrying an excavator collided with the SH29 bridge in Georgetown while traveling on I-35. Despite having a permit to pass under the bridge, the actual height of the vehicle was too tall, leading to the tragic collision. Attorneys representing Jonathon Scott Morgan have emphasized the importance of adhering to safety measures when transporting equipment on highways to prevent such accidents. The Morgan family has taken legal action against the truck company and the driver involved, seeking wrongful death damages. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
