2 Injured In Crash In Cherokee County

WOODSTOCK, GA — Two people were injured Thursday morning in an accident in the Hickory Flat community.

The Cherokee Sheriff's Office responded to the collision around 10:30 a.m. Dec. 13 on Ga. 140 just west of Jep Wheeler Road near Woodstock. A preliminary investigation indicates a vehicle driven by 71-year-old Michael Sargent was traveling westbound when it crossed the center line and crashed into an eastbound-traveling vehicle driven by Danny Moulder, 66, the agency said.

Moulder, of Woodstock, was transported with non-life threatening injuries to North Fulton Hospital. Sargent, a Loganville resident, was treated at the scene for minor injuries and cited for failure to maintain lane, the Cherokee Sheriff's Office said.

There were no passengers in either vehicle, and the accident is being investigated by the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office Traffic Enforcement Unit.
