According to the Georgia State Patrol, the accident happened on Sunday afternoon at the intersection of the US Highway 84 Bypass and Georgia Highway 3 which is also known as U.S. Highway 319. A semi tractor trailer being driven by 54 year old Paul Jones and traveling east on the US Highway 84 Bypass failed to stop at a red light. He then hit a Kia Forte which was traveling north on Georgia Highway 3 occupied by 81 year old Everette Pollack and 84 year old Jo Ann Tuvell. Both ladies died at the scene.
