According to Georgia State Patrol, the crash happened Friday, at 11:15 p.m. on State Route 283 on Mount Vernon Road near Shirley Road.
Troopers said a white 2011 Ford F-350 was traveling southbound on Mount Vernon Road, going too fast around a curve, when the truck went off the west edge of the roadway flipped, and overturned.
The investigation revealed that the Ford was carrying a massive amount of landscaping mulch that was dumped onto the road when it overturned.
This caused Mount Vernon Road to be shut down for two hours for cleanup.
