A Homer man died as a result of injuries sustained in a
one-vehicle accident Friday night on Caudell Road.
Banks County sheriff Charles Chapman confirmed
Christopher Brian Wylie, 32, of Homer died after
being transported to Banks Jackson Commerce Medical
Center by county EMS officials. Wylie’s 1977 Chevrolet
pickup was traveling east on Caudell Road when he
apparently lost control while negotiating a curve and the
truck began to skid.
Wylie overcorrected and then went across the north
shoulder and struck a tree.
Banks County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to
the scene although the Georgia State Patrol office han
dled the investigation. Chapman was attending a candi

Department when the accident occurred at approximate
ly 7:45 p.m. but was notified via cellphone.
The official report from the GSP was not available as
of Monday.
Man who threatens suicide transported to hospital

to hang himself June 26 but allowed
authorities to transport him to

saying “goodbye.” The man told

kill himself but that he wanted help.
