The Georgia State Patrol has released the names of two Baldwin residents injured in a rollover wreck Friday evening on U.S. 441/GA 15 in Banks County. The wreck seriously injured 23-year-old Haley Davidson. 19-year-old Blaine Turpin sustained what appeared to be visible non-serious injuries, officials say.
According to GSP, Davidson was driving a Nissan Murano south on U.S. 441 near GA 105 when the vehicle drifted into the median and struck a culvert. The vehicle overturned multiple times.
Troopers say Davidson and Turpin were not wearing their seatbelts. Initial reports from the scene indicated Davidson might have been ejected, but the state patrol has since confirmed she was not. Banks County EMS transported both of them to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville for treatment.
The wreck happened around 7:15 p.m. on March 4, just inside the Banks County line. It temporarily shut down the southbound lanes of U.S. 441 near the crash site for nearly two hours.
Emergency personnel from Banks and Habersham counties responded to the crash along with the state patrol.
