Two people were sent to the hospital with suspected serious injuries following separate weekend wrecks in Habersham County.
The first wreck happened on Friday, October 13, on GA 365 at GA 105.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, Candace Krefft, 72, of Clarkesville, was driving a Mazda CX3 north on GA 365 in the left lane negotiating a curve. The car ran off the left side of the highway. State troopers say Krefft overcorrected, causing the vehicle to travel off the right side of the road while rotating clockwise.
The Mazda struck a ditch with its front right side, traveled a distance, and then struck a second ditch.
Habersham EMS transported Krefft to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville for treatment of suspected serious injuries. A passenger in the vehicle, Sharon Krefft, 75, also of Clarkesville, was uninjured.
The investigating trooper issued the driver a warning for failure to maintain her lane.

An ambulance took Soule to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with suspected serious injuries. The investigating trooper issued him a warning for driving too fast for conditions.
