The Georgia State Patrol cited a teenage driver for failing to yield following a two-vehicle wreck Wednesday morning on US 441/GA 15.
The accident occurred around 8 a.m. at the intersection of Travis Smith Road in the Turnerville community.
Troopers say 16-year-old Hayes Free of Clarkesville was driving a Subaru Forester east on Travis Smith Road, attempting to turn left onto GA 15. The GSP accident report states that he failed to yield the right of way to a southbound Ford Expedition driven by 61-year-old Ann Cain of Lakemont.
The Subaru struck the Expedition’s passenger side, sending it onto the east shoulder of the highway. The Subaru came to rest in the intersection.
According to the accident report, another driver witnessed the crash and described what happened to troopers.
The wreck temporarily blocked the southbound lanes during the Wednesday morning commute as emergency crews cleared the scene. Troopers say Free complained of injuries, but the GSP report shows Habersham EMS did not transport anyone from the scene.
