Habersham EMS transported three people to the hospital following a wreck Friday afternoon in Cornelia. It happened around noon at the intersection of US 441 Business and GA 105/Cannon Bridge Road.
According to Cornelia police, 69-year old Jose Zendeja of Clarkesville was driving southbound on US 441 in a silver Mercury Marquis. As he turned left at the light into the Habersham Hills Shopping Center, Zendeja pulled in front of oncoming traffic. A black Chevy Sonic struck the Marquis.
The Sonic was driven by 51-year-old Ieda Vincint of Lawrenceville.
Police say both vehicles were carrying passengers. Henry Vincint, 61, of Lawrenceville was traveling in the Sonic. Flavia Zendeja, 71, of Clarkesville was riding in the Marquis.
Habersham E911 dispatched first responders to the scene, advising them of possible entrapment.
“Cornelia Fire arrived on the scene to find three subjects complaining of injuries but [they] were not trapped in the vehicle,” says Habersham County Emergency Services Capt. Matt Ruark.
Habersham EMS transported Jose Zendeja to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. Ruark says the Vincints were taken to Habersham Medical Center in Demorest with non-life-threatening injuries.
The crash site is the same intersection where a local pastor and his five children were injured in a wreck last month.
