The State Patrol says 31-year old Shane Ernest of Dalton was southbound on Hwy 14 when he failed to stop and collided in the intersection with the SUV of an Orchard couple.
74-year old Geraldine and 72-year old Norman Elsberry were pronounced dead at the scene, as was Ernest.
The Patrol says both vehicles continued southbound in a residential area after the collision and hit a parked and unoccupied SUV. The 2 SUVs then hit a house, causing moderate damage.
Ernest’s semi rolled onto its side, spilling its load of pelletized lime. The State Patrol Carrier Enforcement Division conducted a post-crash inspection of the semi.
