Authorities Investigate Fatal Accident Near Woodhull
A Woodhull man died the day after Thanksgiving after his vehicle collided with another in Henry County.

That's according to the Henry County Coroner's Office. Officials say 70-year old Keith Walker had just crossed what is known as the Andover-Woodhull Blacktop near Henry County Highway 9 and County Road 400 North Friday when his vehicle came into contact with one headed northbound, causing the crash.

Coroner David Johnson says Walker was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which is about three-miles north of Woodhull.

Those in the other vehicle were not identified, as they were not injured.

Johnson says his office and Henry County Sheriffs Deputies are still investigating the accident, and that an inquest will be scheduled at a later time.

Funeral services for Walker are being held Wednesday morning.
