PEACH COUNTY, Ga. — Two Peach County deputies were injured Saturday after they crashed into each other during a chase Saturday.
According to Peach County Sheriff Terry Deese, it happened around noon as deputies in two separate vehicles were trying to stop a driver on Highway 49 near Lily Creek Road.
Deese says the driver made a U-turn through the median, and one of the deputies slowed down to follow them.
The second deputy, who was following behind the first one, didn’t slow down in time and hit the first deputy’s patrol vehicle.
One of the deputies was treated for an ankle injury and released. The second deputy is thought to have a broken collar bone.
The driver they were chasing got away. Information on why the driver was being stopped, as well of a description of their car, was not immediately available.
