The driver of the SUV involved in the accident last weekend that seriously injured an East Hall High School basketball player is now facing four traffic-related charges as a result of the accident.
A spokeswoman for the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said Friday the 17-year-old is charged with reckless driving, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain lane and violation of a Class D license.
The sheriff’s office said earlier a 2015 Jeep Wrangler was traveling northbound on Ledan Road in the left-hand curve just before Southers Road and that the driver lost control in the curve. The vehicle crossed over the southbound lane, striking a ditch and then overturning.
Chasen Jones, also 17 and a 16-year-old, were injured and taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville. Jones was released Wednesday.
