HABERSHAM COUNTY, Ga. — A crash involving a tractor-trailer sent another vehicle overturning on GA 365, according to authorities.

Investigators say both vehicles were traveling southbound in the right lane when the driver of the first vehicle began following the tractor-trailer too closely. The driver then attempted to change lanes from right to left, state troopers said.

During the lane change, the front passenger side of the first vehicle struck the rear driver side of the trailer. The impact caused the vehicle to rotate counterclockwise and overturn multiple times.

The vehicle traveled into the grass median of GA 365 near Rock Road before coming to an uncontrolled rest upright on all four tires.

The tractor-trailer continued driving and left the scene. The driver did not return, and authorities were unable to locate witnesses or obtain additional identifying information.

The State Patrol has not said whether anyone was injured. As of now, no charges have been filed, and the investigation remains ongoing.
