A child was airlifted to an Atlanta hospital following a two-vehicle wreck on GA 105/Cannon Bridge Road early Thursday.
A Dodge Durango and Chevrolet Sonic wrecked at the intersection of GA 105 and Smith Loop Road. According to Habersham County Public Information Officer Rob Moore, the crash was reported to E-911 around 7:43 a.m. on August 1. He says the call came through as a “wreck with entrapment.”
According to the Georgia State Patrol’s preliminary crash report, a Chevrolet Sonic was stopped at a stop sign on Double Springs Road (opposite Smith Loop), and a Dodge Durango was traveling north on GA 105.
The report states that the Sonic driver failed to yield. The Durango struck the car on the driver’s side, seriously injuring a 2-year-old passenger in the Sonic.
Paramedics airlifted the child from the Habersham County Airport to a children’s hospital in Atlanta. Ambulances transported the drivers to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
Thursday’s wreck is at least the third accident at the Smith Loop Road intersection since mid-July.
