A driver has been charged with distracted driving after rear-ending a woman’s car in Clayton. The injured driver was not wearing a seat belt and did not have her license with her, state troopers say.
Terry Lee Brown, 54, of Lakemont, was driving a Jeep Wrangler south on GA 76 behind a Chevrolet Equinox. The traffic in front of the Equinox slowed down, but troopers say Brown was distracted by his cell phone and didn’t see the slowing traffic. He hit the rear of the Equinox.
The Equinox driver, Elizabeth Mayfield, 35, was taken to Mountain Lakes Hospital with a complaint of back pain. No serious injuries were reported.
