Two Snellville Women Killed in Athens Crash

ATHENS, GA -- Police on Monday released the names of two young Snellville women who were killed in a car crash this weekend in Athens.

Olivia Cox, 22, was killed at the scene of the crash and Megan Smith, 23, died later at Athens Regional Medical Center from injuries in the collision, which happened just before 12:30 p.m. Saturday, the Athens Banner-Herald reports.

William Maddox, 23, of Monroe, was listed in critical but stable condition at the medical center.

The accident happened between Milledge Road and Timothy Road on the Athens loop, Athens-Clarke County Police said.

Cox, Smith and Maddox were passengers in a black Nissan Sentra being driven by Madison Lind Wilhelm, 21, of Social Circle.

Police say Wilhelm was southbound on the loop when her car left the roadway. She over-corrected, police say, causing the car to cross the median into the northbound lane, where it struck the driver's side of a Cadillac Deville driven by Henry Lee Lance, of Athens.

Wilhelm, Lance and Eric Dobbs, 23, of Loganville, were taken to the hospital for evaluation and later released. Dobbs also was a passenger in Wilhelm's Nissan.

No charges had been filed in the case Monday.
