A Gainesville man was killed in a single-vehicle wreck early Wednesday morning, March 12 on Tanners Mill Road, according to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim has been identified as Jason Jeffery Jones, 51, who was the driver and sole occupant of a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. Deputies responded to the scene of the crash at around 12:05 a.m. near Tanners Mill Circle, where they found the SUV overturned.
Authorities say Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
Initial investigations by authorities revealed Jones was traveling north on Tanners Mill Road when he lost control of the vehicle. Police say the SUV crossed into the southbound lane, drove onto the grass and traveled across three driveways before striking a culvert, which caused it to overturn.
Authorities say Jones was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
Tanners Mill Road was closed for about an hour as authorities worked to investigate the scene. The incident remains under investigation.
