A Sunday afternoon wreck in Demorest injured two drivers and a toddler. Troopers say the driver of an ES300 Lexus pulled into the path of a Ford F150 carrying the 2-year-old child.
The wreck happened around 12:45 p.m. on GA 105/Cannon Bridge Road at the intersection with Double Springs Road.
Brooke Palmer, age and address unknown, was driving the Lexus. Troopers say she was entering Cannon Bridge from Double Springs Road when she pulled into the pickup truck’s path.
The truck collided with the Lexus, causing the car to overturn down an embankment. The F150 also ran down the hill.
The wreck injured Palmer and the other driver, 51-year-old Doug Elrod of Cleveland. The child was riding in Elrod’s truck. According to the Georgia State Patrol, all three sustained possible minor injuries.
Habersham EMS transported the injured patients to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville for treatment.
The investigating trooper charged Palmer with failure to yield. The wreck tied up traffic on Cannon Bridge Road for about an hour.
