A 1997 Ford F-350, pulling a horse trailer, was traveling northbound on Rockmart Road and was preparing to make a left turn into a driveway when it was hit by a 2004 Dodge Ram in the rear, accordiing to the Georgia State Patrol.
The Dodge Ram then crossed over into the southbound lane and hit a 2005 Mercedes Benz, driven by Laltrello, head on, according to the state patrol.
The Dodge Ram was driven by 24-year-old Christopher L. McIntyre of Dallas, with 21-year-old William Thomas McCorkle of Douglasville in the passenger seat.
McIntyre and McCorkle were treated on the scene for their injuries. Temple resident Sheri Evelyn Bryce, 41 — the driver of the F-350 pulling the horse trailer — was not injured in the accident.

Charges are pending, Wright said.
