HALL COUNTY, Ga. — A two-vehicle collision on GA 365 Wednesday evening left both drivers seriously injured, according to the Georgia State Patrol (GSP).
The crash happened around 5:07 p.m. at the intersection of GA 365/Cornelia Highway and Whitehall Road.
Troopers say 26-year-old Tiana Wheeler of Commerce was driving a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado southbound in the left turn lane and attempted to turn onto Whitehall Road. At the same time, a 2003 Volvo tractor-trailer driven by 56-year-old Pedro Martinez was heading north in the right lane of GA 365.
According to GSP, the Silverado failed to yield and was struck on the right side by the oncoming tractor-trailer.
Both drivers were transported from the scene with serious injuries. The northbound lanes of GA 365 were shut down for about an hour and a half while authorities investigated and cleared the scene.
Charges are pending as the investigation continues.
