No one injured in southside rush hour accident Friday morning

No injuries were reported in a rush-hour wreck on the southside of Gainesville Friday morning that closed part of Candler Road at I-985 for about an hour.

The state patrol says the crash happened about 5:45 at Candler and the 985 ramps. Troopers say a driver attempting to turn left onto the I-985 northbound entrance ramp failed to yield to oncoming traffic and collided with a pickup traveling southbound on Candler.

The pickup struck the side of the turning vehicle, causing authorities to shut down a portion of the area for approximately one hour while the crash was investigated.

The driver who was making the left turn was cited for failure to yield while turning left. No injuries were reported.
