Law enforcement and emergency responders worked two separate fatal accidents on Thursday.  Chattooga County Sheriff Mark Schrader told WZQZ News on Thursday night that an accident on Highway 27 near the U.S. Forestry Service Office was a head-on collision.  One person died in that accident and a passenger in the other vehicle, who was seven-months pregnant, lost her baby as a result of the fatal crash.  Another accident on Highway 48 at Fish Hatchery Road on Thursday afternoon involved a victim who was ejected from his vehicle and tragically did not survive.

Sheriff Schrader issued a statement on Thursday night saying, “Unfortunately, I can confirm that we had a fatality in the crash on Hwy 48 this evening. I can also confirm that we had two fatalities in the crash on Highway 27 south of Summerville this evening. Both crashes were dispatched just shortly apart”.

The Georgia State Patrol is still investigating both of these crashes and WZQZ will have more information as it is released from the Georgia State Patrol Public Information Office.
