ALLENHURST, Ga. () — An early morning crash in Allenhurst left a local business in shambles.

Around 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, the Georgia State Patrol (GSP) received a dispatch concerning a vehicle that had crashed into the Allenhurst post office situated at the intersection of West Oglethorpe Highway and Dunlevie Road.

A 2025 Hyundai Elantra traveling westbound on West Oglethorpe Highway struck a power pole and hit the building, according to GSP trooper Christopher Ashdown. A driver and passenger were transported to Memorial Health in Savannah where their current condition is unknown.

The building struck was a family-owned local business.

“I picked out every single detail in this place. I have a lot of pride in my work,” said Kami Anders, co-owner of Diamond Life. “It really hurts to see it like this… It’s just gone now.”

The GSP Specialized Reconstruction Team was called to investigate the incident. The driver of the vehicle was identified as a 27-year-old Ludowici resident.
