The post said it “was a middle of the night, horrific, car vs couch accident on Highway 79 just west of Fairburn.” While there were no human injuries reported, tragically, the couch did not survive. Officials wrote “Fairburn volunteers had the gruesome task of gathering couch guts scattered across the pavement into 3 plastic body bags. The young lady driving the car will live with the memory of this night for the rest of her life.” Share via: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn More
