Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services responded to a two vehicle accident this afternoon on Knox Bridge Highway, just west of Fields Landing Drive, which resulted in two fatalities.

Cherokee County firefighters arrived on the scene to find a head-on collision between a gold Ford Focus automobile and a red Dodge pick-up truck.  The 48 year old male driver of the Focus and a 39 year old passenger died at the scene.  A two month old baby was in the rear of the automobile and was transported to Scottish Rite Hospital with a right broken leg.  It was also reported that he had a traumatic brain injury, too.

The female driver of the pickup truck had possible fractures to her lower extremities and a female passenger was complaining of neck and back pain.  They were both transported to Kennestone Hospital in Marietta.

No other injuries were reported and both lanes of Highway 20 were blocked until the cleanup operations were complete.  The cause of the accident is being investigated by the Traffic Unit of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.
