The intersection of Big A Road and Highway 123 has reopened to regular traffic following a serious multi-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon, though drivers still should use caution in the area as the Georgia Department of Transportation recently finished clearing a fluid leak in the center lane.

According to the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office, emergency responders from multiple agencies were dispatched to the scene after noon on Wednesday, April 16 after a collision involving five vehicles, including a commercial truck. Police say one person sustained severe injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Earlier, following the incident, traffic on Big A Road was rerouted toward West Currahee Street, and southbound drivers on Highway 123 were directed to use Tugalo Street or Fernside Drive as detours. Authorities have not released further information about the cause of the crash or the condition of the injured individual.
