Local Baseball Player Injured In Auto Accident

DSC_3323Dalton Richmond is a member of the Thomaston-Upson Dixie Youth All Star 11-12 year old team that is playing for the state championship Friday and Saturday in LaGrange.

Dalton will put on his uniform just like all his teammates but he won’t see any action due to a broken left arm he suffered in an auto accident while on his way to LaGrange for Monday evening’s game.

Dalton and his family approached the intersection of Highway 18 and Cedar Rock Road in Meriwether County and met a vehicle with it’s right turn signal on. Instead of making the right turn as the driver indicated, the oncoming car made a left turn forcing the Richmond’s to leave the road to avoid a collision.

To show their support, the team posed for a picture following Thursday nights game with everyone holding up their left arm.
