A crash report by Georgia State Patrol stated a driver who tried to make an sudden turn onto Toccoa Highway led to a three-vehicle wreck Tuesday, Dec. 17.
According to GSP, Rhiannon Lorene Wright, of Toccoa, was traveling southbound in a Toyota Odyssey in the right lane when she nearly missed her turn and abruptly attempted to make a right onto Toccoa Highway amid slick road conditions.
A report by GSP indicates Wright failed to maintain the lane of travel before she struck the front of a blue Jaguar F-Type driven by Edward Brian Fialkowski, 51, of Clarkesville, as he idled at the intersection.
The impact forced the Jaguar backward, according to authorities, and caused it to strike a red Honda CR-V driven by Delores Andrews Lovell, 80, of Clarkesville.
The three vehicle accident slowed traffic during Tuesday morning’s rush hour at the intersection of GA 365 and GA 17 at the Tommy Irvin interchange. According to Habersham County Public Information Officer Rob Moore, the accident occurred at 7:45 a.m.
According to Moore, emergency responders obtained two patient refusals from those involved in the accident. The accident scene was cleared by 8:45 a.m.
