For the second time in two days, a wreck at the same intersection in Hollywood sent several people to the hospital.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, 61-year-old Tina Farmer Waycaster of Clarkesville was driving a Ford Escape north on GA 15/US 441. She attempted to turn left onto Talmadge Drive and failed to yield, troopers say. A Dodge Ram pickup, driven by Joel Brookshire, 80, of Gainesville, was traveling south on GA 15/US 441 and struck the Escape on the passenger’s side.
The collision injured both drivers. Habersham EMS took them to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. Waycaster sustained a suspected serious injury. State troopers say Brookshire suffered an apparent minor injury.
The wreck happened around 5:20 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 22. The day prior, on Thursday, Dec. 21, a wreck at that same intersection sent two people to the hospital.
The Georgia State Patrol Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team (SCRT) assisted troopers from Post 7 in Toccoa with both crash investigations.
No charges have been filed in Friday’s wreck as of this time.
