The crash happened at about 1:15 p.m. Police said the driver, Clifford Arrington, also of Hogansville, was headed south on Mooty Bridge Road when his vehicle came up on a FedEx truck stopped in the roadway to turn left onto Wynwood Drive. Police said Arrington was going too fast to stop and swerved left, and the vehicle left the road and struck the corner of a home at 105 Wynwood Drive. Orantes-Gibson, the passenger, was taken from the scene and was later found to have a broken back. Arrington was not hurt, and the resident of Apartment A, identified as Pierre Bryant, was also uninjured.
