A 7-year old boy was airlifted to an Atlanta hospital Sunday after the car he was riding in wrecked in Cornelia. The boy’s mother and 10-year old brother also were injured.
The accident happened at the intersection of Hwy. 441/GA 105 just past the old Walmart in Cornelia. Troopers say 39-year old Josefine Sepehrara of Duluth was driving a 2013 Kia Rio and was attempting to turn left onto the GA 365 southbound on ramp when she pulled into the path of a 2000 Ford Super Duty pick-up truck driven by 51-year old Winston Smith of Cleveland. Smith’s truck struck Sepehrara’s car in the front right side. Her car then hit a stop sign.
Sepehrara’s 7-year old son, Roozbeh, suffered injuries to his upper extremities and was airlifted to Egleston Children’s Hospital. His mother and brother, 10-year old Julian Sepehrara, were both transported by ambulance to Habersham Medical Center. She suffered upper extremity injuries. He sustained head injuries.
The driver of the pick-up was not injured. No charges have been filed as of this time.
