DEMOREST, Ga. — A Cornelia man was seriously injured Thursday evening after his pickup truck overturned on Camp Creek Road, according to officials. The accident happened shortly before 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 15, just south of Camp Creek Baptist Church.
According to the Georgia State Patrol’s preliminary investigation, 63-year-old Terry Loudermilk of Cornelia was southbound in a Toyota Tacoma when the truck ran off the road in a curve. State troopers said Loudermilk overcorrected, crossed both lanes of the roadway, struck a ditch, and overturned. The pickup wound up on its side in a private yard.
Loudermilk sustained serious injuries. Habersham EMS transported him to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville for treatment. Authorities said charges are pending.
The wreck shut down Camp Creek Road between Chase Road and Demorest-Mt. Airy Highway for nearly an hour as crews cleared the wreckage.
