Late Wednesday afternoon, Towns County Sheriff deputies were called to respond to what was characterized by Young Harris College campus police as “a minor automobile accident” in front of Sharp United Methodist Church, immediately to the west of Goolsby Hall.

While an ambulance was present at the scene of the accident, it left without transporting any persons. An elderly man was seen with a dime-sized laceration on his forehead, but otherwise he appeared fine. No other major injuries are known of at this time. No YHC students, faculty or staff are believed to have been involved in the accident.
