CLERMONT, Ga. (AP) - Georgia State Patrol officials say a sheriff's deputy caused a fiery crash that sent three people to the hospital.
The GSP said in a statement that the crash occurred around 7:45 a.m. Monday.
A Whitfield County sheriff's deputy was traveling eastbound on Georgia State Route 52. The deputy was in the process of taking two inmates to Lee Arrendale Prison.
A Dodge truck carrying two people was traveling north on Georgia State Route 284 when the patrol car "failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the toy hauler camper that the Doge was pulling."
The camper disconnected form the truck and overturned. The patrol car caught fire after the collision.
The deputy and two inmates were taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
Nobody has been charged in the crash.
