Authorities now suspect a medical emergency may have contributed to a wreck on Highway 365 that sent one person to the hospital Saturday evening.
The driver was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and no charges are pending, according to officials.
The crash happened near Rock Road, temporarily shutting down the southbound lanes into Stephens County. Personnel from the Stephens and Habersham County sheriff’s offices, Georgia State Patrol, Stephens County EMS, and Carnes Creek Fire Department responded to the scene shortly before 7 p.m. on Aug. 30.
Both southbound lanes were closed while crews treated patients and cleared the roadway. Traffic was detoured until the highway reopened.
