Fatal Crash in McIntosh County: Dillon Parker Ejected and Killed in Rollover
McINTOSH COUNTY, GA — A tragic rollover accident claimed the life of a Hinesville resident early Tuesday evening, casting a somber shadow over the community. On May 27, 2025, shortly after emergency services were alerted to a violent single-vehicle crash, McIntosh County authorities responded to a distressing scene on Young Man Road where a pickup truck had flipped off the roadway and landed in a wooded area.
According to a statement released by McIntosh County 911, the call came in reporting a rollover crash involving a Blue GMC Sierra. Emergency medical services, fire personnel, and sheriff’s deputies were immediately dispatched to the rural location, which is known for its winding and tree-lined backroads.
When first responders arrived on the scene, they discovered the vehicle severely damaged and overturned in a dense area of the woodline. The sole occupant, identified as 33-year-old Dillon Parker of Hinesville, was found ejected from the truck. Authorities say Parker was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Tragically, after being ejected, he was crushed by the same vehicle as it rolled over.
Despite the swift arrival of emergency crews, Parker was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Georgia State Patrol and McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office have launched a full investigation into the incident. Preliminary findings suggest that speed and the lack of seatbelt use were likely contributing factors in the fatal crash, though officials are still working to determine the exact cause.
The news of Dillon Parker’s passing has left the Hinesville and McIntosh County communities in mourning. Friends describe Parker as a hard-working man with a big heart, someone who was known for his dedication to family and loyalty to those close to him.
As the investigation continues, law enforcement officials are reminding all drivers and passengers of the critical importance of wearing seat belts at all times, regardless of the distance or speed of travel. McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office issued a statement urging residents to take road safety seriously: “Accidents like these are heartbreaking reminders that wearing a seat belt can be the difference between life and death. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Parker during this difficult time.”
No other vehicles were involved in the accident, and no additional injuries were reported.
Funeral arrangements for Dillon Parker are expected to be announced in the coming days by his family. The community is rallying together to support his loved ones as they cope with this devastating and unexpected loss.
Further updates on the investigation will be provided as new details emerge.
