According to the Georgia State Patrol, the collision happened on November 6, 2025, at approximately 9:15 AM. Troopers say Vehicle 1, a 2006 Ford F-350 driven by Adena Fry, 44, of Clarkesville, was traveling east through the Exxon gas station parking lot. Vehicle 2, a 2014 Ford Focus driven by Ana Vera, 30, also of Clarkesville, was traveling south on Highway 17.

Investigators report that Fry attempted to turn left from the parking lot onto the highway and failed to yield, pulling into the path of Vera’s vehicle. The Ford Focus struck the F-350 in the roadway.

The F-350 came to rest outside the travel lanes, while the Ford Focus remained near the area of impact.

Both drivers were transported to Gainesville for medical evaluation after reporting injuries. The extent of those injuries has not yet been released.

The crash remains under investigation by the Georgia State Patrol.
