A three-vehicle crash Monday in Stephens County claimed the life of a Northeast Georgia woman. The Georgia State Patrol identifies her as 35-year-old Shonda Hart of Canon.
Troopers from GSP Post 7 in Toccoa responded to the crash on the GA 17 Bypass at Memorial Drive around 1:14 p.m. on October 18.
Post 7 Commander Donnie Sadler says Hart was traveling north on Memorial in a Ford Explorer when she failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection. She pulled into the path of a Lincoln Town Car traveling east on the bypass.
The Town Car, driven by 20-year-old Mckayla Adams of Loganville, struck the Explorer on the driver’s side causing it to overturn “multiple times.” After impact, the Town Car traveled across GA 17 and struck a Ford F350 waiting to turn onto Memorial Drive from the lefthand turn lane.
37-year-old Evelyn Leadbetter of Toccoa was driving the pickup. Neither she nor Adams was injured, says Sadler.
