BRASELTON - First responders in Jackson County freed a motorist from a vehicle partially submerged in water in a creek near Braselton Wednesday morning.<br />
<br />
Jackson County Emergency Services Director Steve Nichols said West Jackson firefighters and Jackson County Sheriff's deputies responded to the call around 11:30 a.m.<br />
<br />
Nichols said the initial call indicated a vehicle was in a small lake on Jesse Cronic Road near Cronic Circle with a person trapped inside.<br />
<br />
"It used to be called Cronic's Lake, I'm not sure that it still is. It's just a small farm-type pond that's right next to the roadway," Nichols said.<br />
<br />
Nichols said responders actually found the vehicle partially submerged in a creek that flows into the lake. <br />
<br />
"He (the victim) was extricated by West Jackson Fire and checked and treated on the scene by EMS and released with no injuries," Nichols said.<br />
<br />
Nichols said the Jackson County Dive Team was initially called but was cancelled after first responders arrived.<br />
<br />
The Georgia State Patrol is in charge of the accident investigation, according to Nichols.
