Driver charged with DUI after J Warren Road wreck

A Clarkesville driver faces DUI and other charges following a weekend wreck.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, 49-year-old Stacy Thomas Daniels was driving a V1-2003 Nissan Altima north on J Warren Road Saturday. The car ran off the road in a downhill curve and Daniels overcorrected. The car then ran off the opposite side of the road, spun around, and struck a tree head-on.

The crash happened just before 3 p.m. near Revive Church.

Habersham County Emergency Services personnel arrived to find Daniels sitting in the door jamb with the driver’s side door open. They transported Daniels to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with suspected serious injuries.

In addition to DUI, the investigating state trooper charged Daniels with driving on a suspended or revoked license and failure to maintain lane.

The wreck temporarily shut down J Warren Road near the crash site while the wreck was being investigated, and the wreckage was cleared.
