No one was seriously injured about midnight last night in two accidents that occurred minutes apart on Georgia 365 at White Sulphur Road. They were caused, according to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), by a large metal gate that was in the road.
“…The impact caused the airbags (on one) vehicle to deploy,” sheriff’s office spokeswoman B.J. Williams wrote in an email. “(The driver) sustained a knee injury in the crash; the injury was treated at the scene by emergency medical personnel. The front-seat passenger complained of wrist pain. She declined medical treatment at the scene.”
In the second instance, the front tires were damaged when that vehicle hit the gate. “(The driver) was not injured and declined to be seen by emergency medical personnel at the scene.”
The owner of the gate remains a mystery.
