FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. â Deputies and firefighters responded to a fatal crash March 31 along Brown Bridge Road after a car hydroplaned and struck a tree.
Robert J. Phillips, 68, of Jefferson, was killed in the crash, which occurred around 12:45 p.m. near Little Mill Road. Deputies said Phillips was driving a Ford Crown Victoria eastbound along Browns Bridge and attempted to pass slower traffic when the car hydroplaned, and Phillips lost control. The car veered off the roadway, rotated and slammed into a large tree.
First responders rushed Phillips to a local hospital where he later died. Deputies are now investigating the crash but said there were no preliminary indications that alcohol or drugs were a factor.

Sale of Tilt stake means another Infratil bid firmly off the table

The sale of its Australasian renewables business means Infratil is unlikely to see another bid from AustralianSuper, analysts at Forsyth Barr predict, speculating the mega payday could mean additional returns to shareholders. On Monday, Tilt Renewables announced it had entered into an agreement, which would see it sold to an Australian consortium for $7.80 a share, valuing the company at close to $2.96 billion.
While the offer is subject to an independent review and regulatory approval, analysts seem to see little risk to the deal being blocked, with the sale price likely to meet or exceed valuation, and the structure of the offer meaning assets in New Zealand and Australia will be owned separately and both under local ownership.
The recent easing of COVID-19 restrictions could be contributing to an uptick in statewide hospitalizations and positive test rates even as COVID-19 deaths continue to slow during March.
