Three Dead After Single-Car Accident in Macon | News

Three people died after a single-car accident at the intersection of Houston Road, Pio Nono Avenue and Broadway.  

Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says Sherry Sherie Bishop, 38, from Gray, was driving a 2004 Chevy Impala when she lost control.  

The car went through the parking lot of the Marathon gas station at Houston and Pio Nono Avenue then uprooted several shrubs before hitting a light pole and landing upside down.

Bishop and a passenger, Derwin Durden, 45, from Covington, were pronounced dead at the scene by Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones after they were ejected from the vehicle.

Bishop's cousin, 40-year-old Temple Dumas of Raleigh, NC, later died in the Medical Center of Georgia emergency room.  

Jones said he did not see any signs of drinking but tests will be run on the driver's blood.
