Cornelia Man Charged in Hwy. 365 Wreck

A Cornelia man is charged in connection with a wreck that sent one woman to the hospital. The accident happened around 7:52 a.m. Friday on Highway 365 near US 441 in Cornelia.

According to a report from the Georgia State Patrol, Joshua Brown was traveling north in the lefthand lane of GA 365 in a 1999 Ford Mustang when he lost control of his car and spun into the other lane. He traveled into the path of a 2003 Toyota Tacoma driven by Kathy Tart of Cornelia. After initial impact, both vehicles traveled off the east side of the road and struck a guardrail. Brown’s car came to rest on the shoulder of the road. Tart’s truck traveled over the guardrail and hit a tree.

The report states Brown had no visible injuries. Tart was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center with “non-incapacitating” injuries. Brown was cited for driving too fast for conditions.
