An Alto man was taken to the hospital with suspected serious injuries after a rollover wreck Sunday afternoon in Cornelia.

Shortly after 3 p.m., a trooper from Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa was dispatched to the scene on Highway 441 at Chase Road.

According to the preliminary accident report, 21-year-old Barry Hulsey of Lula was driving a Chevrolet Trailblazer south on US-441. He failed to yield while turning left and struck the driver’s side of a northbound Ram 1500 pickup truck.

The impact caused the truck to rotate and roll. It overturned onto its passenger side across both northbound lanes.
