MACON-BIBB COUNTY, Ga. — The community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of 54-year-old Tammi Lamar of Macon, who tragically died following a vehicle accident on I-475 Friday evening. What began as an ordinary day quickly turned into a moment of profound sorrow for her family, friends, and all who knew her.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, the crash occurred just after 5:00 p.m. near the Zebulon Road exit. Investigators say the driver of a Jeep—later identified as Tammi—lost control of the vehicle, which subsequently left the roadway and overturned. During the violent impact, Tammi was ejected from her vehicle, suffering critical injuries. A male passenger remained trapped inside until fire rescue teams arrived and extricated him. Both were rushed to a local hospital, where the passenger was later listed in stable condition.
Despite the swift response from emergency personnel, Tammi succumbed to her injuries. Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones confirmed her identity and notified her family, marking a devastating moment that no loved one is ever prepared to face. Her passing leaves behind a profound emptiness for those who cherished her presence, her personality, and the life she lived.
While the investigation continues, what remains certain is the tremendous impact Tammi had on the people close to her. She was more than a name in a report—she was a mother, a friend, a relative, a neighbor, a person whose story mattered. Her sudden loss serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of holding close the memories we create with those we love.
Tonight, and in the weeks and months ahead, Tammi’s family and friends will lean on their cherished memories—moments of joy, laughter, and connection that cannot be taken away. Even as grief settles heavily over those who knew her, love remains stronger. It’s in the stories shared, the tears shed, and the quiet moments of remembrance that her spirit will continue to live on.
As the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office continues its investigation, authorities encourage anyone with information regarding the accident to contact them at 478-751-7500. Meanwhile, the community stands together in support of Tammi’s family, honoring her life and mourning her loss.
Rest in peace, Tammi Lamar.
You will be remembered with love, missed deeply, and held forever in the hearts of those who knew you.
