Hardeeville , SC :75-year-old James Matthew Eddins killed after his tractor-trailer swerved and hit several trees on Monday ,September 14th 2015

Another fatal crash on Interstate 95 near the Georgia state line has prompted renewed calls for cutting trees along the highway.

Local media outlets report that 75-year-old James Matthew Eddins of Moncure, North Carolina, died Monday when his tractor-trailer swerved, hit several tees and ended up in a canal about 13 miles north of the state line.

The coroner says a medical condition caused the crash. But Hardeeville Police Chief Sam Woodward wonders whether hitting the trees prevented the driver from being saved.

There have been 16 deaths from tree-related accidents on I-95 in Jasper County in the past five years.
