One Injured in Monday Accident

A White County resident is hurt in a one-vehicle accident Monday in Stephens County.

According to the Toccoa post of the Georgia State Patrol, the accident occurred on Monday just before 4:30 p.m. on Highway 17 Alternate, or Falls Road/Talmadge Drive.

The Georgia State Patrol says that a dump truck driven by 42-year-old Darryl Dwayne Turner of Cleveland traveled onto the shoulder while negotiating a curve headed southbound on Highway 17 Alternate.

The GSP says the truck then crossed both lanes of 17 Alternate, struck the guardrail, overturned, and came to rest after traveling down a small embankment.

According to the GSP, Turner was taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center with unspecified injuries.

Nobody else was in the vehicle with Turner and the GSP says no other vehicles were involved in the accident.
