Two Richmond Hill men were seriously injured Saturday afternoon after the vehicle they were traveling in struck a tree in South Bryan.

According to Georgia State Patrol Senior Trooper Joel Mock, Christopher Rodgers, 20, and Eric Lyle, 21, were traveling south on Kilkenny Road in a 2006 Ford Mustang around 4:30 p.m.

He said as the car approached the intersection at Highway 144, Rodgers, who was driving the car, allegedly failed to stop. The car ran the stop sign and continued through the intersection until it hit a tree, entrapping the two men.

Fire and rescue units had to use the “jaws of life” to free the men from the car, Mock said, and they were transported by medical helicopter to Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah. He was unable to provide medical information on the pair.

Charges are pending, Mock said.
