The Walker County Courthouse in LaFayette is set to reopen this week after receiving structural damage from a vehicle crash over a week ago.
The accident happened when the driver of a Chevy Trailblazer lost control of his vehicle, crashed into a decorative wall in front of the Walker County Courthouse before slamming into the bottom level of the building. The offices of Probate Court are on the bottom level of the Walker County Courthouse in downtown LaFayette.
Superior Court Chief Judge Kristina Cook Graham issued a Judicial Emergency to close Probate Court.
An engineer who inspected the Walker County Courthouse this week gave approval for Probate Court to reopen Wednesday, October 6th.
The engineer also discovered issues unrelated to the vehicle crash damage… and the front entrance steps to the Walker County Courthouse will be closed until further notice. Use the ground level entrance.
