GSP: Zikerria Nevels injured in Savannah intersection crash

SAVANNAH, GA (March 23, 2026) – A 19-year-old woman was seriously injured when a police vehicle struck her car at a Savannah intersection, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

Authorities said the crash occurred around 9 p.m. when a Savannah Police officer responding to a fight-in-progress call, with emergency lights and siren activated, failed to yield at E. Montgomery Crossroad and Varnedoe Drive.

The patrol vehicle collided with a blue Ford Mustang driven by Zikerria Nevels. She became trapped inside the vehicle and had to be extricated by Chatham Fire personnel before being taken to a hospital.

Nevels sustained multiple fractures, including injuries to her pelvis, hip, ribs, and tailbone. She underwent surgery within 24 hours and faces a lengthy recovery that could last six to twelve months or longer.

The Savannah Police Department described the crash as a minor traffic accident. The Georgia State Patrol continues to investigate the incident.

A fundraiser has been launched to assist with Nevels’ recovery.


CRASH INVESTIGATION

“It is essential to determine the precise cause of these types of accidents. An attorney can evaluate insurance coverage, consult expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and identify witnesses. We guide victims and their families through every step,” said Candice Bond, managing partner with Bond Legal.

She emphasized that in cases like this, an independent investigation is vital to preserve key evidence.

“Beyond the police report, an attorney will analyze all contributing factors,” Bond added. “Legal counsel can bring in specialists, review driver histories, locate witnesses, and assess insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, a lawyer helps injury victims navigate a complex process.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Zikerria Nevels may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the difficult challenges families face, and protecting their rights is crucial. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are fully protected,” added Formica.
