Truck Driver James Shafer Dies in Carroll County Crash
James L. Shafer 24 of LaGrange died at 1 50 am on Highway 29 south of Deer Creek in Carroll County. The Seagley Brothers Propane driver suffered severe internal injuries with arms and legs torn from the body when his truck left the road and plunged into a ditch.

The wreck was described by officers as among the worst they had covered. Shafer’s body was sent to LaGrange for funeral rites after the Gentry funeral home transfer.
