The driver of pickup that overturned down an embankment and into a creek near Cornelia Thursday night was trapped in the wreckage for a time.
The single-vehicle accident happened on Camp Creek Road about 8:30 and the road was closed about two hours, according to Habersham County spokesman Rob Moore.
“Habersham County E-911 dispatchers received a call just after 8:30 p.m. reporting a pickup truck had left the road across from Tony Cook Trucking Co. and was in the water,” Moore said. “The driver was stuck and unable to get out on his own.”
After freeing the man and placing him in a rescue basket to get him out of the ravine, an ambulance took him to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Habersham. His condition was not immediately known.
