Two Franklin, North Carolina, men were injured, one seriously, when the truck they were in ran down an embankment Friday in Sky Valley.
The single-vehicle crash happened just before 5 p.m. on GA 246 at Winding Ridge Road. According to the Georgia State Patrol, 56-year-old Domingo Roman was driving a Ford LNT80 west on Highway 246 when the truck traveled off the roadway and struck a guardrail. The truck, which was hauling a paver and small roller at the time, then ran down an embankment and overturned.
The crash seriously injured Roman. His 25-year-old passenger, Justin Adams, was also hurt in the wreck. They were both transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville for treatment.
Cpl. Larry Ray with Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa says charges are pending against the driver.
