VALDOSTA, Ga. (WCTV) -- A Valdosta man is dead after colliding head-on with a trailer that broke free from a truck.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, 58-year-old Gary Cantrell of Valdosta was killed in the accident on Cat Creek Road near New Bethel Road, about a mile west of Moody Air Force Base, around 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

Troopers say Cantrell's vehicle was headed north and collided head-on with a grain trailer that had disconnected from a pickup truck during a curve. The trailer traveled into Cantrell's lane, killing him on impact.

38-year-old Lawrence Robinette was a passenger in the vehicle and sustained minor injuries.

Investigators say they don't suspect that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash but are still awaiting the results of toxicology reports.

The accident left the roadway closed for about two-and-a-half hours.

Charges against the driver up the pickup truck, Walter Clayton, 63, of Sparks, are pending the completion of the investigation, GSP says.

Memo:  Georgia House Bill 123 Excludes any safety for Farmers who tow trailers on public roads...we warned the Governor...he only lisened to the FARMERS who lobbied him....
