A Sautee Nacoochee woman died as the result of a single-vehicle accident Friday in White County.
At approximately 9:52 a.m., troopers with the Georgia State Patrol were dispatched to a single-vehicle fatality on Duncan Bridge Road/SR 384. The investigating trooper observed a single vehicle overturned on its right side in a ditch, and the driver ejected from the rear hatch window.
The state patrol identified the driver as Barbara Ann Crews, age 84, of Sautee Nacoochee.
GSP says the preliminary crash investigation and witness statements determined Crews was traveling east on Duncan Bridge Road and failed to maintain her lane while negotiating a curve.
Crews’ vehicle traveled off the south shoulder of the roadway, where it struck a ditch. After impact, the vehicle struck a tree and overturned.
The next of kin has been notified, and the accident is still under investigation.
