Man died in a car accident on Saturday

A Statesboro man was killed Saturday night when the tow truck he was driving went off the road on Zettwell Road, according to Georgia State Patrol reports.
Sr. Trooper JT Strickland said Ricky Davis, 47, of Olliff Hill Road, was traveling south on Zettwell Road at approximately 11:46 p.m. Saturday when the white 2000 UD series tow truck he was driving crossed the center line, traveled 26 feet and then veered onto the shoulder of the road.
The vehicle then traveled about 100 feet before hitting the east side of the roadway, Strickland reported. The tow truck slid another 75 feet and struck a tree; it traveled 14 feet before hitting another tree, and then another 10 feet before hitting a third tree, he said.
After the third impact with a tree, the tow truck landed in a ditch and came to a stop, reports said.
Davis was partially thrown through the vehicle’s windshield and was pronounced dead at the scene, reports said.
Further details were not available as reports were incomplete on Monday.
Donna Sue Hodges, the victim’s sister, said Davis was her only brother and he borrowed the tow truck.
“He was a loving father, a loving brother,” she said. “You couldn’t ask for a better person.”
Davis died after a crash on U.S. 301 South left two people dead Saturday night. Georgia State Patrol officials have not yet released the identities of the two men killed in the crash, which involved a minivan and a tanker truck. Two passengers in the minivan and the driver of the tanker truck survived.
No further information was available about the truck driver. The only information available about the minivan’s passengers was that they were a man and a young girl and that the minivan’s occupants were from Camden County, South Carolina, and were visiting family.
