Man who fled from White County deputies crashes, suffers minor injuries

WHITE COUNTY, Ga. — A Gainesville man who fled from deputies in White County Tuesday crashed his vehicle in Habersham County and wound up in Northeast Georgia Medical Center with minor injuries.

A White County deputy attempted to stop the 30-year-old Eulon Carter Burns near Putnam Road and Garrison Drive south of Cleveland when they noticed equipment violations on his 1998 Ford Explorer. But when Burns sped away, the deputy lost track of the vehicle.

Habersham County officers then located the vehicle and reported to White County that Burns wrecked on Cool Springs Road. He was transported to the Gainesville hospital and now faces multiple violations in both White and Habersham County.
