I'm Floored Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Cobb County has asked for traffic control on Hwy 120 from Paulding SO. They have a fatality, and need no traffic to come past East Paulding Drive on Hwy 120. Link to post Share on other sites
jp184 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Please post if anyone hears anything else. My son-in-law is in that area. Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Floored Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 They haven't said anything else. Being a Cobb Co. wreck, we're not going to have any radio traffic about it. I did find it interesting that dispatch told the deputy en route to East Paulding Dr that Cobb wanted to know when he arrived so they could send a Cobb officer to talk to him. After that, the Paulding officer asked for another deputy to meet with him at East Paulding so that they could talk. Link to post Share on other sites
PastorMatt1978 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 We just had a Paulding SO go by our house on East Paulding dr with blue lights but no sirens. We live about 1/4 mile from the intersection of East Paulding and hwy 120 Link to post Share on other sites

ladams Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Trafic has been rerouted through Dallas Rd. for the last 30 minutes. It is slowing down now. Would like to know more if anyone hears anything. Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Floored Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Trafic has been rerouted through Dallas Rd. for the last 30 minutes. It is slowing down now. Would like to know more if anyone hears anything. I listened to the archives for quite awhile. They asked them to reroute because the road was going to be closed for a long time. The radio traffic was broken at times. I never heard what types of vehicles were involved. They did say it was 2 vehicles with heavy front end damage. Also, a long trailer. They were contacting one person regarding the patients. Edited April 19, 2009 by I'm Floored Link to post Share on other sites
bwilliams Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Dh just went through there, it's blocked off through the road Lost Mountain Baptist Church is on. He said there's probably 10 cops, 3 fire trucks and a ton of people. It's really bad. Link to post Share on other sites

dawneykids Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hubby saw this last night on the way home from work and said it looked bad, bad, bad. He said it looked like the truck had been torn in half. Prayers for all involved. Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Raider Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 sorry to hear this.,... is there any updates? Link to post Share on other sites
gpatt0n Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 No fatality here. Rather the thing that got folks excited is that a passenger in one of the vehicles simply hightailed it out of the area to avoid having to talk with the cops. There is a topic in the countywide news that covers the entire topic. pubby Link to post Share on other sites
luvtennis5 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Glad to hear there was no fatality. Prayers for the ones involved though . Link to post Share on other sites

That's the only reason I posted it as such. Link to post Share on other sites
