A Gainesville driver has been charged in a three-vehicle wreck that seriously injured him and two others.
Habersham County E-911 dispatchers began receiving calls at 3:52 p.m. Wednesday, July 17, reporting a multiple-injury wreck with entrapment on GA 115 at Haywood Hills Road, says Habersham County Public Information Officer Rob Moore.
Emergency personnel from Habersham County, Clarkesville, and White County responded to the scene. Georgia State Patrol troopers who investigated the wreck say 34-year-old Kevin Young of Gainesville was driving a Ford Mustang east on GA 115. He was following too closely and swerved into the opposite lane to miss a stopped Chevrolet Express Van that was waiting to make a left turn.
The Mustang sideswiped the van and then struck a westbound MazdaCX5, troopers said.
The wreck seriously injured Young and the Mazda driver, 60-year-old Luis Flores of Cornelia. A passenger in the Mazda, 61-year-old Sandra Pulliam of Helen, was also seriously injured. Ambulances from Habersham County EMS and White County EMS transported them to the trauma unit at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
GA 115 was shut down in both directions between Habersham Mills Road and McConnell Road for more than an hour. Moore said the highway reopened around 5:15 p.m.
