Three people were hurt Friday afternoon when a car crashed through the front door of West Jackson Medicine Center. The extent of the injuries was not known as of 3:30 p.m. Friday.
The incident ocurred around 2:15 p.m. Friday when a white Toyota with Jackson County tags rammed through the front of the drug store. The store is located on Hwy. 53 in Hoschton.
The car was totally inside the building and looked to have stopped near a pharmacy countertop.
Fire and rescue units from West Jackson and Barrow County responded, along with Jackson County Sheriff's Office dupties and Braselton police.
In response to the article regarding the car crashing into West Jackson Medicine Center on Friday, January 29, 2010, I would like to mention that all 3 employees were taken to local hospitals and treated for their injuries.
One of the employees, office manager Sylvia Jordan, will remain hospitalized for several days for continued assessment and treatment of her injuries sustained in the accident. This employee also happens to be my Mother. I wish to thank each and every person for all of the concerns, well-wishes, prayers and visits to her in the hospital as well as those that dropped by WJMC during the time of crisis to offer support. You will never be able to print enough words to express my sincere gratitude to all of these special people!
A very special thank you to all of the wonderful EMS and Sherrif's Department officers that responded to this accident. I offer my heartfelt appreciation to these special individuals and their efforts to assist my employees and myself during this time of crisis!! Those of you that made such a terrible situation all the more bearable have my deepest gratitude!!
Thank God for watching over this situation and preventing the loss of lives! Things can be repaired and replaced whereas people can not.... Thanks be to God!!
Sincerely,
Tracy L. Jordan, R.Ph/Owner of West Jackson Medicine Center
