Barrow County drivers share a few main roads every day. Knowing the road helps us figure out who investigated the crash and where to find the report.

GA-316 and US-29

GA-316 crosses Barrow County on its way toward Athens. It passes south of Winder and runs through Statham, and US-29 shares the road with it across the county. Most people simply call it 316. Commuters, delivery vans and tractor-trailers all use it.

GA-81 and Fort Yargo

GA-81 enters Barrow County across the Apalachee River and meets GA-316 at an interchange south of Winder. It then passes Fort Yargo State Park and ends in Winder.

GA-53 Through Winder

GA-53 meets GA-316 southeast of Winder, where it is called Hog Mountain Road. In town, it shares North Broad Street with other state routes.

GA-211 From Statham to Winder

GA-211 begins at GA-316 in Statham and runs north toward Winder. After passing through town, it heads northwest toward Braselton and I-85.

Losing someone in a crash is hard to talk about. Georgia law gives some families a way to hold the at-fault driver responsible.

Who Can Bring a Claim

Under Georgia law, the surviving spouse can bring a claim for the death of a spouse. If there is no surviving spouse, the children can bring it. The claim is for the full value of the life of the person who died, as shown by the evidence (O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2).

Reaching Out Early

Evidence can fade over time. Reach out early so there is time to gather the crash report, photos and witness names while they are still easy to find.

The agency that responded to your crash keeps the report. Look at the card or paper the officer gave you to see which agency it was and to find the case number.
