State troopers charged a Vespa driver with following too closely after he ran into the back of a sedan on GA 365 in Demorest. The Sunday evening accident sent Bruce Boger of Toccoa to the hospital.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, the 76-year-old Boger was driving a GTS 300 Vespa northbound when he rear-ended a Ford Fusion that was stopped at the light at the intersection of GA 365 and Demorest Mt. Airy Highway.

The crash happened around 5:05 p.m. on October 9.

19-year-old Jissel Suarez of Clayton was driving the car. He had an 18-year-old passenger, Lizbeth Suarez, in the car with him along with two juveniles. None of them were injured, the state patrol says.

Habersham County Emergency Services did not respond to Now Habersham’s request for information, but GSP says EMS transported Boger to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with minor injuries.
