Three people were transported to the hospital following a wreck late Thursday in Alto.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, a Dodge Dart, driven by 34-year-old Sandra Pantoja of Alto, was traveling south on GA 365 in the left turn lane. She failed to yield while turning onto Ducan Bridge Road. The Dodge collided with a northbound Honda Civic driven by 19-year-old Jarim Valderrama of Gainesville.

The impact caused the Dodge to spin. The Honda veered off the roadway and struck a raised concrete island on Duncan Bridge Road.
