Though the Labor Day holiday weekend was quieter than last year’s across the state, two traffic accidents in Hall County kept local authorities busy.

The Georgia State Patrol investigated 360 traffic crashes over the 78-hour holiday travel period, which resulted in 211 injuries and 10 fatalities, including a bicyclist in Hall County who was one of two bicyclists in Georgia killed over the weekend. A total of 13 were killed in traffic accidents in the state, including those worked by other law enforcement agencies.

T.J. Patillo, 31, was struck and killed by a vehicle in South Hall on Saturday. The collision happened on Sloan Mill Road when a car travelling in the same direction hit Patillo and a friend, both on bicycles, from behind.

Another Hall County accident injured seven, but resulted in no fatalities. Two cars collided in the Saturday afternoon wreck on Dawsonville Highway west of Manor Ridge. Seven were transported to hospitals, including one who was life flighted to a hospital. No additional information from the Georgia State Patrol was available Tuesday.
