Adairsville man in Chattanooga hospital following wreck

Mark Millican

A man whose pickup truck ran off Highway 225 North Thursday evening in Murray County was in the cardiac surgery intensive care unit at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga on Friday.

Timothy James of an Adairsville address veered off the road above Pinhook Creek Bridge at around 7:10 p.m., a witness told Georgia State Patrol trooper Michael Hall.

“The witness told me the vehicle left the roadway and he saw no brake lights,” Hall reported. “(James) went through a field and hit a tree. A nurse at Erlanger said he had an aneurysm.”

Hall was working in Bartow County on Friday and did not have the wreck report in front of him, but recalled that James was born in 1963.

“I don’t think he was living in Adairsville, but can tell you that he has relatives in Chatsworth,” he said.
