A multi-vehicle pile-up caused serious injuries to 2 people on Cleveland Highway (Gainesville, GA)

Multiple people received injuries, including 61-year-old Peter Collins and 37-year-old Ryan Anderson who were seriously injured following a multi-vehicle pile-up on Cleveland Highway.

A Clermont man was accused of reckless driving Monday, Aug. 2, after his truck sideswiped a U.S. Postal Service maintenance van in North Hall, Georgia State Patrol said. Allie Lee Small, 60, also faces multiple charges, including driving under the influence, failure to maintain lane, driving on the wrong side of the road and serious injury by vehicle.

As per the initial investigation, at around 10:40 a.m. on Monday Small was driving a Dodge truck traveling north on Cleveland Highway, close to Walden Pond Road. Taylor said Small crossed the center line and sideswiped a postal maintenance van that was driven by 60-year-old Michael Johnson, a resident of Loganville.

Small’s truck then collided with a Toyota Camry head-on before rolling on its side on the shoulder of the road, Taylor mentioned. A Ford Crown Victoria driven by 32-year-old Johnathon Parks, of Cleveland, also hit the Camry when the car rotated into the road.

The driver of the Camry, Peter Collins, 61, of Cleveland, and his front-seat passenger, Ryan Anderson, 37, of Cleveland, were rushed to Northeast Georgia Medical Center with serious injuries. Collins’ backseat passenger, a 14-year-old boy, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Small was also shifted to Northeast Georgia Medical Center with minimal injuries.

Parks sustained minor injuries, but was not admitted to the hospital, and his two passengers remained uninjured in the crash. Johnson, the driver of the postal van, also remained unharmed. Small was taken to the Hall County Jail after he was discharged from the hospital. The road was closed for more than an hour during the crash investigation.

An investigation is continuing.
