A Hartwell man died Thursday after his car went airborne and overturned multiple times on GA 181 near GA 8, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

State troopers were called to the scene of a single-vehicle accident east of Hartwell around 1:15 p.m. on Oct. 5. They say Donald Phillip Hall, 63, was traveling westbound on GA 181 in a Ford Taurus when he is believed to have suffered a medical episode, causing him to drive off the right side of the roadway.

The Taurus struck a culvert and became airborne. As the car overturned, Hall, who was unrestrained, was ejected from the vehicle.

Hart County EMS transported Hall to Anderson Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.
