According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Department, 36-year-old Jeffery King was driving an SUV east on Eisenhower Parkway. A logging truck also traveling east, was stopped at the intersection and as the light turned green the logging truck began to move through the intersection as King ran into the back of the logs that were loaded on the back of the truck.
