The Georgia State Patrol worked an accident on Thursday at the Mountain View Intersection and Highway 27. Trooper Doug Shamblin told WZQZ News that a car driven by an elderly Trion woman attempted to cross the intersection from First Street and drove into the path of a semi truck. The truck driver, who was from Minnesota, attempted to avoid hitting the vehicle but was unable to avoid the accident. After striking the car the elderly woman was driving, the truck’s load shifted and the truck overturned. A stop sign, yield sign and street sign were taken out as a result of the accident. Neither the elderly woman or the truck driver were seriously injured. WZQZ News will have more information when a complete report is released by the Georgia State Patrol.
