MACON, Ga. — A Georgia State Patrol trooper's daughter has finally returned to her home in South Georgia after she was seriously injured in a crash that left her father dead.
The accident happened last month on March 19.
Trooper Tyler Parker, 24, was off duty when he lost control of his vehicle during a downpour and hit a tree head on. He was killed in the accident, and Parker's 3-year-old daughter Savannah, who was also in the vehicle at the time of the wreck, was seriously hurt.
