A woman hit the Confederate War Memorial Monument in Milledgeville last week according to an accident report.
It says Shalise Johnson was heading east on East Greene Street just before 1 a.m. last Thursday, when she came to the intersection at South Jefferson Street.
Johnson says that she was trying to turn left when the accelerator got stuck, and her brakes failed when she tried to stop. She hit the curb and her car left the road, colliding with the monument and landing on top of it.
The report says that two witnesses said ohnson did not try to slow down before turning and hitting the monument. The witnesses also said that she tried to drive her car off the monument, but was unable to.
Currently the Robert E. Lee Chapter UDC is working to get the monument repaired. They are getting quotes from the Chicora Corporation in Columbia. South Carolina.
