Deputy dies at home after crash; I-Team suggests it could have been avoided
The tragic incident involving Patricia and Walt Carper on West Rock Quarry Road was not an isolated event, as previous accidents had occurred at the same location. A FOX 5 I-Team investigation revealed that the crash might have been prevented. The head football coach at Seckinger High School had repeatedly urged Gwinnett County's Department of Transportation to install a barrier at the dangerous dead end where the Carpers ultimately crashed into an embankment. Despite these efforts, the Carpers experienced severe injuries, with Patricia Carper tragically passing away due to complications from the wreck. The coach's advocacy for safety improvements, such as speed breakers and a barricade, ultimately led to the installation of a barrier and warning signs at the site. The story underscores the importance of collaboration between communities to address issues and prevent future tragedies.
