A driver of a Honda Accord has been airlifted to an Atlanta hospital following a single-vehicle accident that shut down all westbound lanes of Highway 92 Thursday afternoon in Woodstock.

Woodstock police and fire crews, along with Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services, responded around 2:30 p.m. April 9 to a single-vehicle accident on Highway 92 at West Wiley Bridge Road.

The driver of the Honda Accord appeared to have veered off the highway, hit a power and the vehicle overturned onto its roof, Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services said in a press release.

Cherokee fire spokesperson Tim Cavender said the woman had a compound open fracture to her right ankle and complained of knee pain.

Woodstock police spokesperson Brittany Duncan added the driver became entrapped in the vehicle and injuries sustained in the wreck propelled first responders to transport the woman by helicopter to the hospital.

Cherokee County Fire Battalion Chief Frankie Martinez said that the victim was in stable condition at the time of her life-flight to Atlanta Medical Center.

All lanes of Highway 92 were reopened around 4 p.m. Thursday, Duncan said. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation.
