The
second of two people who were aboard a motor scooter struck from
behind by a small sport-utility vehicle on Macon Road, or U.S. 80,
has succumbed to his injuries at a Columbus hospital.
Muscogee
County Coroner Buddy Bryan confirmed Sunday that Jeremy Blankenship,
30, was pronounced dead at 10:20 a.m. Sunday at Piedmont Columbus
Regional’s midtown campus.
Blankenship’s
death follows that Saturday of Toni McChargue, 33, who also was on
the scooter that was smashed from behind by a Jeep Renegade compact
SUV in the Upatoi area — on Macon Road just past the Jenkins Road
intersection — at 2:14 p.m. Saturday. She was pronounced dead at
the scene by Deputy Coroner Freeman Worley.
Bryan
said Columbus police investigators still are not sure if McChargue or
Blankenship was driving the scooter.
