Gainesville Driver Charged with DUI

Gainesville man 59-year-old Ricky Carroll, Jr. was seriously injured in the wreck on State Route 17 and charged with DUI.

Corporal Bronson Taylor with GA State Patrol Post 6 in Gainsville investigated the crash. He says Carroll was northbound in a 2014 Dodge Charger when he crossed the centerline rounding a curve.

The Charger struck a southbound 2019 Ford Superduty pickup truck driven by Mark Martin, 59, of Cleveland.

The wreck seriously injured Carroll. It also injured his passenger, 61-year-old Donnie Lamar Carroll. Also, the 59-year-old Marin and his passenger, 47-year-old Tonia Martin of Cleveland all suffered non-life-threatening inures.

Medics transported all four injured people to Northeast Georgia Medical in Gainsville for treatment.

Georgia State law will require Ricky Carroll to complete a clinical evaluation and attend a DUI / Risk Reduction Program that’s certified/licensed by the Georgia Department of Driver’s Services before your driver’s license can be reinstated since he has been charged one of the following:

  1. DUI
  2. Drug Possession
  3. Other drug offenses
  4. Under-age possession of drugs or alcohol

Before getting behind the wheel after having a few, consider the many reasons why you should not.
