The place you are most likely to have a wreck in Peachtree City is right where you’d probably guess: The busy intersection of Ga. highways 54 and 74.

That intersection leads all others in the city with 48 wrecks so far this year, three times more than its nearest competitor, according to figures from the Peachtree City Police Department.

The number two accident location in the city is Hwy. 54 at its intersection with Peachtree Parkway, just about the geographic center of the city.

So far this year, it has seen 16 automobile collisions.

Rounding out the top five are Hwy. 54 and Huddleston Drive (12 wrecks), Hwy. 74 and Clover Reach (11 collisions) and Hwy. 74 and Kelly Drive (11 wrecks).

The department is reporting that during the month of June it investigated four robberies, two aggravated assaults, nine motor vehicle thefts, nine burglaries and 30 thefts.

The department’s report to City Council says that during June its officers made 14 arrests of adults driving under the influence and nine minors in possession of alcohol.

During June, police said, there were nine arrests for marijuana and one for cocaine.
