CLEVELAND, Ga. — Three people were injured Tuesday when they were involved in a three-vehicle accident on Ga. 11 (U.S. 129) at Rogers Road in White County.
Trooper 1st Class Jordan Stamey of Georgia State Patrol Post 6 in Gainesville investigated the wreck and reported that 10-year-old Kaeden Willis, of Cleveland, was taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. The child was later airlifted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta where he is believed to be in serious condition.
Willis’ parents, Christopher Willis, 36, and Jamie Willis, 36, were also transported to Northeast Georgia Medical center and treated for minor injuries before being released.
According to Stamey’s report a 2004 Ford F-150 pickup truck driven by Jancedyn Terry, 17, of Cleveland was stopped on Rogers Road facing west at its intersection with Ga. 11. A 2002 Kia Sportage driven by Christopher Willis was traveling north on Ga. 11 approaching the intersection with Rogers Road.
A 2007 Peterbilt tractor with empty flatbed trailer driven by Lamar Webster, 62, of Cleveland, was traveling south on Ga. 11 in the right lane negotiating a curve as it approached the intersection with Rogers Road.
Terry’s vehicle failed to yield and turned right into the path of Wills’ Kia. Wills steered left in an attempt to avoid impact into the southbound lane of Ga. 11. He then steered to the right and re-entered the northbound lane but over-corrected and lost control of his vehicle which then started to rotate counter-clockwise as it crossed the northbound lane and traveled into the southbound lane.
At that time, the tractor-trailer was changing into the left southbound lane. The Kia struck the left rear wheel of the tractor with its right front fender. After that initial contact, the Kia then struck the tractor trailer in the left side and left rear wheel of the trailer with its right front corner. After the second impact, the Kia came to rest in the road facing east.
No citations were issued pending an investigation.
