A Gainesville Police officer suffered minor injuries after a Sunday morning single-vehicle wreck near Jesse Jewell and E.E. Butler parkways. The officer, whose name hasn’t yet been released, was driving his patrol car west on Jesse Jewell Parkway/Ga. 369. Traveling just west of Race Street, “for unknown reasons, (the vehicle) traveled from the right lane onto the median,” hitting a utility pole with its right front bumper, said Jonathan Munger of the Georgia State Patrol.
