Teen, Woman Ejected From Vehicle In Accident

EMERSON, GA -- Several people were taken to an area hospital late Sunday morning for injuries stemming from a single vehicle accident in Emerson.

The accident took place along U.S. 41 just north of Gaston Westbrook Avenue, said Bartow County Emergency Medical Services spokesperson Brad Cothran.

Crews arrived on the scene to find a vehicle had overturned multiple times, and two patients had been ejected from the vehicle, Cothran stated.

One patient, a 13-year-old boy, suffered an apparent "closed head injury," and was transported to WellStar Kennestone hospital for treatment. The second patient ejected from the vehicle, an adult woman, was conscious and alert on the scene, but "was asking repetitive questions," Cothran added.

The woman was also transported to Kennestone Hospital. Five additional motorists suffered minor injuries ranging from small cuts to abrasions, and Cothran said those victims were also transported to Kennestone for treatment.
