Hall County, GA – Drivers in northern Georgia are facing delays this morning after a two-vehicle crash shut down both lanes of Price Road, also known as Highway 136.
According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, the closure affects the stretch of Price Road between Summit Chase and Wahoo Falls Trace. Deputies announced the shutdown just minutes after the crash occurred, urging drivers to avoid the area until further notice.
Officials said the incident involved two vehicles, though details on injuries and what led to the collision have not yet been released. Emergency crews are on scene, and investigators are working to determine the cause of the crash.
The closure impacts a frequently used cut-through near the Lake Lanier area, creating delays for morning commuters traveling between Gainesville, Murrayville, and surrounding communities. Drivers heading westbound toward GA-60 or southbound into Gainesville may experience extended detour times.
Authorities have not provided an estimated reopening time. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes and monitor updates from the Hall County Sheriff’s Office throughout the day as crews work to clear the roadway.
Residents who live near the closure may also experience additional traffic on neighborhood roads as drivers reroute around Highway 136.
More information will be released as it becomes available.
