Charges Expected for Driver in Two-Vehicle Wreck Tuesday

Charges are pending against a driver who caused a bad wreck in Lavonia Tuesday.

It happened about 8p on SR17 South in front of the Fred’s Discount store, according to Georgia State Patrol Hartwell Post Assistant Commander Matt Baxley.

“Trooper 1st Class William Jordan responded to a crash on GA17 at Shufert St. During his investigation he discovered a Volkswagen Beetle was traveling north on GA17 and turned into the path of a southbound transfer truck,” Baxley said.

Neither driver suffered serious injuries.

Baxley said the driver of the Volkswagen Beetle was taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The names of the drivers have not been released.
