An early morning accident Wednesday in Banks County sent four people to the hospital. It happened around 7:30 a.m. during the school morning rushing hour.
43-year-old Marcia Batten of Commerce was driving a Toyota Corolla north on US 441/SR 15 when she attempted to turn left onto Historic Homer Highway. Batten failed to yield and pulled into the path of a Honda Pilot traveling south on US 441/SR 15, according to the Georgia State Patrol.
