Gainesville, GA – One Killed in Head-on Collision on Browns Bridge Rd
Gainesville, GA (December 5, 2022) – Around 7:54 a.m. on the morning of Saturday, December 3, one person lost their life in a fatal head-on collision in Gainesville.
According to Hall County officials, the accident happened near the intersection of Browns Bridge Road and Cherokee Trail. Police confirmed that a driver was in a Chevrolet Tahoe headed east when they failed to maintain their lane of traffic. Because of this, the Tahoe struck a Ford F-250 that was traveling west, causing damages to both vehicles. The F-250 traveled off the side of the road and overturned into a ditch.
Paramedics, fire crews, and several other responders were called to the scene to help those in need. One person involved in the crash, who has not yet been formally identified, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene due to traumatic injuries. The driver of the F-250, as well as a passenger inside the Tahoe, sustained injuries and were immediately hospitalized. Their conditions are not yet known.
The roadway was blocked in several lanes of traffic for some time. Police worked to clear the scene as quickly as possible.
No further details have been released but the investigation into the accident continues.
We would like to offer our warmest sympathies to the family and friends of the victim whose life was lost in this accident. We also hope that the injured victims receive a speedy recovery.
