According to Grenada County Sheriff’s Office, 19-year-old Maxley Byron Baxter remains in an intensive care unit following the Sept. 24 accident which occurred on Graysport Crossing Road near Grenada Lake.
The accident killed a 19-year-old victim identified as Austin Chamberlain of Georgia who was pronounced dead at the scene when authorities arrived.
