Woman Killed In North Forsyth County Crash

CUMMING, GA — One woman was killed and a man left in critical condition after a traffic collision in north Forsyth County Tuesday evening.

The wreck happened shortly after 6 p.m. at the intersection of Dahlonega Highway and Mountain Road, just south of the intersection of Hwy. 9 and Ga. 306.

According to Forsyth County Fire Department division Chief Jason Shivers, a pickup truck collided with a four-door sedan.

The woman, who was a passenger in the sedan, was taken to Northside Hospital Forsyth, where she died from her injuries. The man driving the sedan was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but is expected to survive, and the pickup truck's driver suffered from moderate injuries, Shivers said.

Authorities had not yet released the names of the victims Wednesday morning, as family members were being notified.

A helicopter was brought into the crash area to attempt to fly the woman to a hospital but, according to Shivers, her condition worsened on the scene to the point where she wasn't able to fly.

Traffic on Dahlonega Highway and Mountain Road was blocked for several hours Tuesday evening as police and emergency workers rescued the crash victims and investigated the scene.
