A Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputy was involved in a single-vehicle accident this week while en route to a cardiac arrest call.
According to Sheriff Mark Schrader, Deputy Ben Mollohan was responding with emergency lights and sirens traveling southbound on Highway 100 just before the Four Mile Curve when the incident occurred.
“As Deputy Mollohan crested the hill, a truck, reacting to the emergency lights, immediately stopped in the roadway,” Sheriff Schrader stated.
To avoid colliding with the stopped vehicle, Deputy Mollohan took evasive action, steering the patrol car into a large ditch adjacent to the highway. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Sheriff Schrader confirmed that the only property damage sustained was to the patrol vehicle itself.
No other vehicles or property were damaged in the incident.
The Georgia State Patrol (GSP) responded to the scene and conducted the accident investigation.
