One person was transported by ambulance for medical care after being trapped briefly in a rollover wreck on Duncan Bridge Road (Ga. 384) in Habersham County Thursday morning, Feb. 1.
Personnel from Habersham County Emergency Services and the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched at 8:03 a.m. to the wreck on Duncan Bridge Road at Copperhead Road.
According to Habersham County Sheriff’s Office HEAT Deputy Chase Trammell, a Chevrolet Trailblazer stopped for the stop sign at the end of Copperhead Road and the driver looked left but did not see the Toyota Tacoma pickup headed toward White County on Duncan Bridge Road.
When the Trailblazer pulled from Copperhead Road, the two vehicles collided headlight to headlight, resulting in disabling damage to the Trailblazer and the Toyota overturning and coming to rest on its side in a ditch on the shoulder across from Copperhead Road.
Habersham County Emergency Services Engine 12 and Med 12 personnel cut off the top of the truck to remove the injured driver, who was transported by Med 12 to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville.
Trammell cited the uninjured Trailblazer driver for failure to yield after stopping.
The wreck and resulting debris field kept the road shut down in both directions until 9:03 a.m.
