A Cleveland driver was cited for following too closely in a rear-end chain-reaction wreck on Highway 115. The Friday morning wreck injured two people, according to a report from the Georgia State Patrol.
The accident happened around 9:21 a.m. on Sept. 21, approximately 5 miles east of Cleveland.
According to GSP, 32-year-old Megan Bennett of Cleveland was driving a Ford Flex east on GA 115 when she stopped for another vehicle to make a left-hand turn onto Gerrells Road. 57-year-old Patrick Sweeny of Clarkesville was driving a company-owned Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck and was stopped behind the Ford when a Subaru rear-ended him.
Troopers say 65-year-old Brenda Brown of Cleveland struck the rear of the Dodge, pushing it into the Ford. Brown told the investigating trooper she could not see the stopped vehicles because the sun was in her eyes.
A photo from the scene shows one of the vehicles on fire.
White County EMS transported Sweeny to Habersham Medical Center with injuries. Brown reported injuries but was not transported.
