Elderly Georgia Man will be Reunited with Family after Driving all Night

Warrick: This morning at approximately 7:05, Sergeant Brian Wilson stopped the driver of a 2013 Dodge Ram pickup truck for traveling 98 mph on I-64 near Lynnville. When Sergeant Wilson approached the driver he immediately noticed the 87-year-old male was confused. The driver thought he was in southern Georgia. Wilson was able to obtain a cell phone number for a family member and revealed they had been looking for him all night. The 87-year-old resides in Cornelia, GA. Troopers transported him to Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh for observation. Family members from Georgia are currently en route to the hospital to pick him up.
