Update: An Atlanta man was killed after his box truck collided with a tractor-trailer Wednesday, May 24, on Ga. 365/Cornelia Highway, according to authorities.

Fidell Deshun Lightfoot, 43, was ejected from his box truck around 3:47 a.m. Wednesday on Cornelia Highway near White Sulphur Road.

Georgia State Patrol said a tractor-trailer was stopped in the left lane of Cornelia Highway, waiting at the red light at White Sulphur Road.

Lightfoot’s box truck tried to swerve to avoid hitting the tractor-trailer but ultimately struck the back of it.

Lightfoot was dead at the scene.

Troopers were unable to determine if Lightfoot was using a seat belt because of the “extensive crash damage.”

Traffic was diverted about 3 a.m. from Ramsey Road to White Sulphur then back to the highway, deputies reported. The highway reopened about 5:45 a.m.

Update: Deputy Coroner Kevin Wetzel said Fidell Lightfoot, 43, of Atlanta, was killed in the crash.
