ALPHARETTA, GA -- The Alpharetta and Milton community are mourning the loss of three young women who were killed Wednesday evening in a crash in Oconee County.

The crash, which was reported around 8:55 p.m. April 27, occurred when a white Toyota Camry traveling northbound on S.R. 15 veered into the southbound lane and was struck on its passenger side by a blue Chevrolet Cobalt, the Georgia State Patrol said.

The four female victims in the crash, which took place north of Bob Elder Road, have been identified as Kayla Canedo, 19, of Alpharetta; Brittany Feldman, 20, of Alpharetta; Christina Semeria, 19, of Milton; and Halle Scott, 19, of Dunwoody.

The driver of the Camry, Agnes Kim, 21, of Snellville, remains hospitalized at Athens Regional Medical Center. Additionally, the driver of the Chevrolet Cobalt, 27-year-old Abby Short of Demorest, was injured and transported to Athens Regional Medical Center.

Troopers do not suspect alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash, and the GSP's Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team is conducting a follow-up investigation. Any charges will be determined at the completion of the investigation.

University of Georgia President Jere Morehead sent out an email early Thursday expressing sympathy to the victims' friends and families.

"We extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of our students who were victims," Morehead wrote in the email. "We ask that you keep these students and their family and friends in your thoughts and prayers."

Milton High School will host a candlelight vigil at 8 p.m. Thursday so residents can honor and pay their respects to the victims.
