One person was injured in a two-vehicle crash that occurred on Sunday, February 22 at the intersection of Thurmon Tanner Pkwy and Cantrell Rd in Hall County, Georgia. A 22-year-old driver of an Infiniti Q60 failed to yield after stopping at a stop sign and struck a 79-year-old driver's Mazda CX-50, resulting in the older driver being transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Why it matters
Failure-to-yield crashes often happen at stop-controlled intersections when drivers misjudge the speed or distance of approaching vehicles. Parkways like Thurmon Tanner Pkwy can carry steady, higher-speed traffic, increasing the risk if drivers don't take proper precautions.

According to the state patrol, the 22-year-old Infiniti driver, Jonathan Vazemiller of Flowery Branch, stopped at the stop sign but failed to yield before entering the intersection, striking the 79-year-old Mazda driver, Peter Perkich of Gainesville. Perkich was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, and Vazemiller was cited for failure to yield after stopping at a stop sign.
