Traffic in

south Fayette was snarled Wednesday morning when an auto crash occurred

on Ga. Highway 74 south near its intersection with Ga. Highway 85.

One of the

victims was taken for medical attention by a medical helicopter, according

to the Georgia State Patrol, which is investigating the accident.

The preliminary

report from the GSP indicates that one of the vehicles was traveling north

on Hwy. 74 when it left the roadway and the driver over corrected as it

was steered back onto the road, a spokesperson said.

That brought

the vehicle into the southbound lane and the path of a northbound vehicle,

and the two vehicles collided head-on, according to the GSP.

None of the

driver's names were available because the report wasn't complete Thursday

morning.

The crash scene

tied up the highway for a half hour or more, according to reports.
