Winter weather conditions are to blame for a fatality in north Georgia Monday. The police chief of the small town of Nelson in north Georgia was killed in an accident along the Pickens-Cherokee County line. 32-year-old Clay Adams and a female passenger were on Georgia Highway 515 in Blue Ridge around noon when they were struck by another driver who lost control on a patch of ice. Adams’ car was struck head-on. Adams had been chief of Nelson for a little more than a year.
