A 74-year-old woman was killed from injuries sustained during a head-on wreck Thursday involving her vehicle and a dump truck.

Doctors pronounced Margaret Carrier of Braselton dead at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Hall County Coroner Marion Merck said.

The accident happened around 12:30 p.m. on Candler Road near Myers Elementary School.

Georgia State Patrol officers reported Carrier's gold Kia Sorento crossed over the center line and struck a red dump truck. The truck driver was unharmed.

The collision caused Carrier's SUV to overturn on the side of the road. Hall County Fire Services worked for more than an hour to free the woman from the wreckage.

A medical helicopter was waiting to take her to a regional trauma center, but her injuries were too severe for air transport.

Traffic on parts of Candler Road was shut down for about two hours.
