Three people were injured in a two-vehicle crash Monday afternoon in Demorest. A 911 caller reported the wreck on Highway 441 at Charlie Batson Road around 4:30 p.m. on April 3.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, 62-year-old Vickie Hoose of Alto was driving a Subaru Forester. She failed to yield when entering the highway from a nearby business. A Chevy S10 pickup truck struck the Subaru on the driver’s side. After impact, both vehicles ran off the road into a field.
Troopers identified the pickup truck driver as 58-year-old Richard Gibson of Demorest.
The wreck injured both drivers and a passenger in the Subaru, 42-year-old Jennifer Pitts of Alto. All three sustained possible minor injuries, state troopers say.
Habersham EMS transported the injured drivers to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville for treatment.
The wreck temporarily shut down both lanes of the highway near the crash site as law enforcement investigated and tow trucks cleared the scene.
The Georgia State Patrol says charges are pending against Hoose.
