Arrest warrants have been issued against a driver who authorities said caused the seven-vehicle crash on Dietz Road at Battlefield Parkway in Catoosa County.
Four people were hospitalized due to the Jan. 14 crash, and two were released within a day, according to an email from the Georgia Department of Public Safety last week.
The arrest warrants are for the charges of serious injury by vehicle, reckless driving, speeding 95 mph in a 35 mph zone and following too closely, according to the Georgia Department of Public Safety in an email Tuesday. The arrest warrants were obtained through the Catoosa County Magistrate Court.
An investigation determined that the 83-year-old driver of a Ford Explorer mistook the accelerator pedal for the brake, according to an email from the state to the Chattanooga Times Free Press last week
