Habersham EMS transported five people to the hospital after a wreck Saturday afternoon on GA 365 North at Mt. Zion Road.
At 3:17 p.m., Habersham County E-911 dispatched emergency units to the scene of a rollover wreck in Alto with people possibly trapped inside the wreckage.
“Upon arrival, units found one vehicle in the gore on its top with entrapment and one with heavy damage in the road,” says Habersham County Emergency Services Capt. Matt Ruark.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, Anistacia Coramae Dimock, 25, of North Windham, Connecticut, was driving a Nissan Altima west on Mt. Zion Road. She failed to yield attempting to cross over GA 365 and ran into the path of a northbound Toyota RAV4.
The Toyota struck the front of the Altima and overturned. Douglas Almond, 53, of Cumming, was driving the Toyota. The wreck injured him and Dimock. Three passengers in Almond’s SUV were also injured. State troopers identified them as Eddie Almond, Rodney Turpin and Mickey Grindle.
Troopers from Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa investigated the wreck. They say everyone involved sustaind minor injuries. Ambulances transported all five patients to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville for treatment.
Emergency personnel remained on the scene for more than an hour.
Mt. Zion at GA 365 is the same intersection where a wreck claimed the lives of 5-year-old Lincoln Burgess and his aunt Cynthia Wade in October 2021.
