CLARKESVILLE, Ga. — A two-vehicle crash shut down Highway 115 at Peachtree Cove on Friday, blocking traffic in both directions between the White County line and the roundabout.
The collision resulted in injuries to both drivers. Two patients were transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. The first was initially listed as a non-emergency transport but was upgraded to emergency status while en route. The second patient was transported as an emergency.
A female driver in a black SUV was trapped inside her vehicle following the crash. She was unresponsive at the scene but regained consciousness and had to be extricated from the SUV, according to preliminary information.
The roadway remained fully blocked as emergency crews worked the scene, however Hwy. 115 reopened shortly after 11 a.m. Motorists were urged to avoid the area and seek alternate routes as delays were expected.
The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the crash. No further details were immediately available.
Now Georgia will provide updates as more information becomes available.
