A Glynn County public works employee died Tuesday afternoon at the Glynn-Brunswick Memorial Hospital after falling from a Glynn County truck that was being used for a road detail on Buck Swamp Road.
According to Glynn County police officer Elmer Strickland, a member of the county's special traffic unit and the accident investigator, Greg Hope, 30, of the Sterling Community was holding onto a mirror of a 1972 Mack RS700L tractor trailer that was westbound on Buck Swamp Road around 11:50 a.m. He was riding outside the vehicle, the officer said.
The tractor, driven by Robert Vernon Harrell of Hortense, was pulling a low-boy trailer with a Ford tractor loaded on it, Strickland said. Hope apparently lost his grip on the mirror and fell under the rear tandem wheels of the tractor.
Strickland said the tractor was traveling at about 10 mph at the time of the accident.
The investigating officer said no charges would be filed in the accident.
Harrell is also a Glynn County public works employee.
Services will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday at the Pine Haven Baptist Church with the Revs. Grover Meeks and Thomas J. Bernard officiating. Interment will follow in Union Cemetery near Mt. Pleasant.
Pallbearers will be Tim Grimsley, Scott Grimsley, Joel Hitchcock, Gary Hitchcock, Roger Johnson, and Lucious Daniels.
Honorary pallbearers are Clyde Strickland, Keith Flanagan, Gene Lewis and the members of the Glynn County Road Department.
Hope is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sammy Hope of Brunswick; three sisters, Sandra E. Smith of Brunswick, Sherry L. Strickland of Waverly and Jane Grimsley of Hortense; a niece and a nephew.
Hope is a native of Wayne County and had lived in Glynn County most of his life. He was a member of the Big Buck Hunting Club and the Pine Haven Baptist Church.
He had been an employee of the Glynn County Public Works Department since December 1979.
Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
