A four-vehicle Labor Day wreck in Rabun County injured three people. Two of them were transported to the hospital, state troopers say.
According to Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa, the crash happened around 2:38 p.m. Monday near Mountain City.
Troopers say Jonathan McClure, 21, of Clayton, was driving a Chevy Sonic on File Street and attempted to turn left onto GA 15. He struck a northbound Hyundai Accent driven by Farrah Ellis, 45, of Decatur. The impact caused the Hyundai to crash into two southbound vehicles on GA 15.
The wreck injured Ellis and her passenger, Derrick Allen, 51, of Clarkston. Rabun County EMS transported them to Mountain Lakes Medical Center in Clayton.
The driver of one of the southbound vehicles, Fernande Jimenez, 36, of Rex, Georgia, was also injured. EMS did not transport him to the hospital, says GSP Post 7 Commander Donnie Sadler.
No one else was injured in the wreck, including five members of a family that included three children.
The crash happened as travelers across the country were returning home from the long Labor Day weekend.
At least 13 people have died on Georgia’s roads since the 78-hour holiday began at 6 p.m. on September 2. The holiday officially ends at 11:59 p.m. on September 5.
