A rear-end wreck Tuesday night on GA 365 North in Alto sent one person to the hospital.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, Alyson Singletary, 20, of Toccoa, was driving a Kia Sorento north in the right lane just south of Anderson Village. The Sorento rear-ended a Nissan Maxima that had slowed down to pull off the roadway.
Troopers say the Maxima had its hazard lights on at the time of the crash.
After impact, the Maxima continued off the right side of the roadway, striking a guardrail. The wreck injured the driver, identified as Julieta Ruiz Gonzales, 56, of Toccoa.
Habersham County Emergency Services and sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene shortly after 6:30 p.m. on January 24. EMS transported Gonzales to Habersham Medical Center in Demorest with minor injuries.
Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa investigated the crash. Troopers gave Singletary a warning for distracted driving while Gonzales received a warning for no headlights.
Northbound traffic was reduced to one lane for about an hour.
