CRAWFORD COUNTY, Ga. — A body was found just off of I-75, Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones told 13WMAZ.
It happened on the small portion of Crawford County that touches the interstate.
While the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office and the county coroner are taking charge, Jones said a truck driver noticed the body out his window while sitting in stand-still traffic. He said that he saw the body in an embankment.
Jones says it appears the body might have been there for a while. He said it may have been there for several days.
According to Leon, the body is going to the GBI crime lab where an autopsy will determine the cause of death.
