At 10 P.M. tonight Sylvester Police, Worth County Deputies, Worth Fire Rescue and E-911 were still busy after an electrical storm passed over parts of the county. At 9 P.M. a heavy down-pour occurred in the Isabella area and emergency units were called to a one-vehicle wreck on Hwy 313 about a mile past Red Rock Road. The male driver was unharmed and told officials he attempted to dodge something in the roadway, hydroplaned and went off the road.

At 9:40 P.M. a power outage occurred reportedly in Poulan, Sylvester, and the Isabella and Red Rock area. The outage lasted only seconds before power was restored, but caused numerous business and residential alarms to go off as well as the Poulan Severe Weather warning alarm sounding until after 10 P.M. Deputies and Fire/Rescue were dispatched to Poulan-Shingler Road where a power pole had apparently caught fire. Units also responded to New Hope School Road where WCFR reported a possible fire within a wooded area, but were unable to get their trucks in the area. GA Forestry was called to search and investigate and was still in the area around 11 P.M.

Earlier this evening, at approximately 7:50 P.M., a Worth County Deputy and EMS responded to Mill Branch Road when a male subject was allegedly run-over by a golf cart. He was transported to Phoebe Putney in Albany. We will report more on this story as it is available.

At 12:50 P.M. today, Sylvester Police, EMS and Worth Fire/Rescue units responded to East Street in Sylvester near the Greater New Birth Missionary Baptist Church when two vehicles collided. The male driver of the Red Dodge pick-up complained of neck pain and was transported to the hospital for observation. The 88-year old female driver of the Nissan car complained of chest pains and was transported to Phoebe-Worth hospital.
