It happened just before 5:00 southbound at Alto-Mud Creek Road.
The initial 911 caller reported a tractor-trailer “all the way across the highway” on the northbound side and a black SUV off the road on the southbound shoulder, according to Habersham County spokesman Rob Moore.
Three persons were taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville suffering unspecified injuries.
Moore said it was not until 6:55 Tuesday night that all lanes were reopened.
