A serious wreck between a tractor trailer and a passenger car on Ga. 53 near the Hall County-Jackson County line shut down the two-lane road Thursday for about three hours, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

One person, who was trapped in a passenger vehicle that was pinned down by the tractor trailer, has been flown to Grady Memorial Hospital with serious injuries.

The driver of the tractor trailer was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries, said a Post 6 GSP operator.

As of press time Thursday, the GSP did not know what caused the accident or who was at fault. Ga. 53 reopened at about 8:30 p.m.
