A two-car accident Monday night at the intersection of Highways 301 South and 46 stopped southbound traffic for more than one hour and resulted in minor injuries.

According to Georgia State Patrol Trooper Bobby Durden Jr., a Ford F150 truck was traveling east on Highway 46 at about 9 p.m. Monday. The vehicle had stopped at the intersection of Highway 301 South, where the traffic light was not operating due to the effects of Hurricane Helene last week. As the driver crossed Highway 301, a Ford Explorer failed to stop, Durden said, and struck the F150 on the front driver's side.

Traffic laws require all vehicles to treat intersections with traffic signals that are non-operational as a four-way stop.

The resulting crash sent debris across 301 southbound and the Explorer was stopped in the middle of the road.

The two occupants of the Explorer could be seen walking after the crash. Durden said they were transported to East Georgia Regional Medical Center to be "checked out," Durden said, but the injuries were "minor," he said.

No one was injured in the F-150.

Southbound traffic on 301 was stopped for more than one hour as the debris and the Explorer were cleared from the roadway.

There have been several accidents in Bulloch County as a result of dozens of non-working traffic signals due to Helene and drivers not observing the intersections as four-way stops.
