Weekend traffic crashes cause headaches for motorists

At least three traffic accidents in Hall County over the weekend blocked three different highways and delays for motorists using them.

Though the state patrol, as of late Sunday evening, still had not released details of any of them, local authorities issued traffic alerts in an effort to minimize delays.

They occurred about 10:00 Saturday morning on I-985 southbound at or near Buford Drive (Exit 4), later that evening on Cleveland Highway near Shope Road, and about midnight Saturday on Browns Bridge Road near Serene Shores Drive.
