    Five months after the mysterious murder of a Coffee County woman, people gathered Tuesday night in Douglas to remember her and to launch a community effort to make sure her case isn't forgotten. Friends
    People gather to bring attention to one of many unsolved murders of women in Coffee County.

Crews were busy this afternoon repairing a utility pole after a SUV crashed into it.

The accident happened on Highway 82 in Sylvester. A mother and her six-year old suffered minor injuries and were transported to the hospital.

The woman told an officer someone ran her off the road and she slammed into the pole.

Neighbors say it's not the first time a vehicle has run into one of the poles which are located very close to the road.

"Next thing I  know I heard a loud boom, so then I come running down and you could see the truck just turning and turning," said Maryann Pierce.

No one lost power because of the crash.
