Woman, 45, dies after crash on GA-15 at GA-326 in Jackson County

JACKSON COUNTY, GA – A two-vehicle collision Thursday morning, January 2, in Commerce claimed the life of a 45-year-old woman, according to Access WDUN.

The fatal wreck took place on a stretch of Georgia State Route 15 at Georgia State Route 326. A Georgia State Patrol troopers responded to the scene at around 8:36 a.m.

Preliminary details indicate the victim was driving a Ford Explorer westbound on Georgia-326 and was attempting to cross GA-15 in order to proceed west on GA-326. Officials say she failed to yield to the right-of-way of a Ford F-150 traveling southbound in the right lane of GA-15. Shortly afterwards, the Explorer’s passenger side doors were struck by the front-end of the F-150.

The Explorer, which was sent into the right shoulder of the southbound highway, then overturned.

First responders rushed the driver of the Explorer to Gainesville’s Northeast Georgia Medical Center in life-threatening condition. She was later pronounced deceased.

At this time, no pending charges or citations have been reported.
