NEAR GAINESVILLE, GA – A pickup truck driver and a semi-truck driver were seriously hurt following a crash at the intersection of GA 365 and Whitehall Road Wednesday.

EMS crews rushed the drivers to hospitals for treatment of serious injuries. Georgia State Patrol identified the pickup truck driver as a 26-year-old woman from Commerce and the tractor-trailer driver as a 56-year-old man.
