A drowsy Amazon semi-truck driver ran off I-75 in Monroe County Wednesday morning, crashing into a grassy area near the tree line.

Why It Matters: Drowsy driving is a serious danger on Georgia’s highways — and when it involves a massive commercial truck, the stakes for everyone on the road go up dramatically.

What’s Happening: The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says the driver nodded off while heading north on I-75, sending the big rig off the road near Exit 179.

  • No injuries were reported.
  • Traffic was not affected.
