LaGrange honors two heroes who stopped runaway car as driver suffered seizure
LaGRANGE, Ga. (WRBL) – On Friday morning, the Troup County Sheriff's Office and the City of LaGrange will present the Citizen Bravery Award to two men who took bold action to stop a medical emergency from turning into a tragedy. Honorees Zion Reed, 22, and Drew Garner are being recognized for rescuing a woman suffering a seizure while driving on Hamilton Road on May 2. Reed, a mobile propane technician, leapt into action when he saw the driver veer into oncoming traffic near the Bryant Lake subdivision. Witness Drew Garner, who captured the event in photos and helped call 911, described Reed as sprinting toward the car, diving in headfirst, and slamming the brake — stopping the vehicle just feet away from a dump truck. The driver was convulsing and vomiting, but thanks to Reedbravery, she survived. 'This lady was having a seizure while driving, and the Lord gave me the strength to stop her vehicle before an accident occurred,' Reed later shared. 'Lord, I thank you for putting me in this position this morning.' Reed's mother added a touching detail — Zion was born weighing just 1 lb. 14 oz. 'We knew he was going to be special,' she said. In an emotional message sent to WRBL, the woman whose life was saved personally thanked both men. She said she is grateful beyond words and overwhelmed by their courage, saying she may not be alive today if not for their actions. The Troup County Sheriff's Office and City of LaGrange say both men embody the very best of their community. The award ceremony will be held at 9:00 AM during the City Council Meeting at 208 Ridley Avenue. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Highway robbery: Scammers bring back classic scam
(WHTM) — Ever get a text message saying you owe money for a toll? The messages know how to get your attention. They claim you have an outstanding traffic ticket and that if you don't pay immediately, you'll lose your registration and driving privileges. That got drive Scott Ruby's attention. 'I know that they can be awfully confusing to people, especially my age, who take this stuff for truth,' Ruby said. As summer returns, so does this infamous scam. States are warning drivers they will never text demanding money. The bottom line: Don't respond to unsolicited texts. Easy enough for Ruby — 'I owe so much that I ignore them anyway.' If you're ever unsure, call the state's agency directly at its official number to verify. Find more stories on Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Friends remember Jax Gratton two months after she went missing
DENVER (KDVR) — Friends gathered at the Denver City and County Building Monday to remember Jax Gratton, the Denver hairstylist who went missing nearly two months ago. Jax's mother says her daughter's body was found in Lakewood Friday night, although Lakewood police have not confirmed that. Teen accused of killing Commerce City 16-year-old released ahead of a trial 'As a proud and fierce transgender woman, Jax faced adversity with grace, strength, and an unshakable sense of self,' Brandy Carey, a friend, said to the crowd. 'She was funny, loud, loving, and just a joy to be around.' The group said they are seeking information and justice. Lakewood Police say they are investigating a suspicious death after a badly decomposed body was found in an alley in the 9600 block of West Colfax Avenue Friday. The Jefferson County Coroner has not publicly identified the victim or the cause of death. 'We are scared, we are hurting, and we are angry,' Tynk Insy said at the gathering. Trio of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' stars to headline Denver PrideFest's Center Stage State Representative Brianna Titone read a statement to the group from Jax's mother, Cherilynn Gratton-Camis. It said in part, 'Today, we speak the name of a daughter, a friend, and a beautiful human being who should still be here. Jax Gratton. She was bold. She was loud. She was full of life, creativity, and love. She dreamed of adventures, of making art that helped people see the beauty in life. She wanted what every person deserves—a chance to live safely and fully, as herself. But the world around her made that feel like too much to ask. She was trans, and she was terrified. Not because of who she was, but because of what the world is becoming.' Cherilynn Gratton-Camis A service was scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Monday, at the Highlands United Methodist Church.
