The Dalton Police Department is looking for witnesses of a crash that happened Monday morning on the North Dalton Bypass. The crash resulted in non-life threatening injuries to all parties involved and severe damage to both vehicles.
The crash was reported shortly after 8:20 a.m. on the North Bypass (GA 3) at the intersection with Cross Plains Trail. A white 2012 Chevy Sonic driven by Vanessa Harrison of Dalton was traveling northbound on the Bypass and struck a black 2005 GMC Sierra truck as the truck attempted to turn left from Cross Plains Trail to travel southbound on the Bypass. The truck, which was driven by Blake Burris of Ringgold, was flipped onto its side by the impact. Mr. Burris, Ms. Harrison and a passenger in the Sonic were transported to Hamilton Medical Center with injuries that were considered non-life threatening.
Both drivers reported to a DPD investigator that they believed they had the right of way from the traffic signal at the intersection. Burris told an investigator that he had a flashing yellow turn arrow and Harrison told police that she had the green light. No witnesses stopped at the scene. The Dalton Police Department is asking anyone who witnessed this crash to contact Officer Matthew Dykes at 706 278-9085, dial 9 and enter extension 147.
