Eight people were injured and four taken by ambulance in a collision at Beaverdale Road and Boyles Mill Road Sunday afternoon.
Georgia State Patrol trooper E. Tommy Bonaparte said 23-year-old Tabetha Nolasco-Sanchez of Chatsworth was charged with failure to yield.
Bonaparte said Nolasco-Sanchez was coming from Boyles Mill Road in her Ford Expedition with five passengers. Bonaparte said she failed to look both directions and didn’t yield to the Plymouth Voyager on Beaverdale Road that crossed her path with eight people inside.
Lorie Crider, the driver of the Voyager, tried to swerve before the van flipped on its top and landed in a grassy ditch, Bonaparte said.
Officials said no one was seriously injured in the wreck.
Syble Page, a clerk at Uncle Buck’s General Store, said she heard a loud bang when the collision occurred about 1:30 p.m. Page said she called 911 but didn’t actually see the wreck.
In her 30 years at the store, Page said there have been several accidents at the intersection including some with fatalities.
Investigators were also working a 4:50 p.m. wreck on Old Tilton Road between Riverbend and Hickory Flatts in which one person was taken to the hospital. Another wreck at the Dalton bypass and Veterans Road at 1:20 p.m. resulted in an injury.
