1 dead after 4-vehicle wreck shut down Spalding highway
A Spalding County highway was shut down for more than an hour Wednesday afternoon after a deadly four-vehicle injury wreck, authorities said.
The crash happened at 4:10 p.m. on U.S. 41 at County Line Road, the Georgia State Patrol said. All northbound lanes were blocked until about 6 p.m.
The driver of a 2007 PT Cruiser didn’t yield before making a turn onto U.S. 41 from County Line Road and was hit on the driver’s side door by a 1986 Toyota pickup truck, GSP said. The impact caused the Toyota to hit two other vehicles.
The driver of the Cruiser, 66-year-old Deborah Ross of Barnesville, died at the scene, GSP said. The Toyota’s driver was taken to a hospital by relatives. The people in the other vehicles were not injured.
No other information on this incident has been released.
